Actually the rear shocks have zero to do with the ride height. The front Echo struts tho lower it a half inch.

This thread kinda needs to be stickied cause those part #s may come in handy for people looking to upgrade to new shocks/struts.

X2, I suspect they would be a direct stock replacement but with softer valving than OE.

I don't see why they wouldn't be exactly the same, just with a new number.

NAPA is usually the best place to get/order Monroes from.

Rear shocks

Does any one know if Monroe softened the dampening rate on the 5601s to match the ECHO or are they OEM. I would also like to know because I would like the stiffer xB rear shocks to complement the Eibach spings on my ECHO.
