I installed new rear kyb SR4484 coil/struth assembly on my 2010 forester. The forester feels so much better, no noise or clunking.
the KYB struts are just as good as OEM.
KYB struts got the OEM feel.
I am running monroe struts on my 11 Fozz since 90K miles. Ride has been much softer with those. I like that better than OEM; personal preference.
I ended up going with stock kyb gr2 struts and swift lowering springs. It rides very smooth and looks good.
285,000 miles doesn’t feel great on stock struts but they’re gone now
