I actually just got down putting on some rear KYB shocks for my ole gurl.
Pros: rear shocks replacement
I bought KYB shocks few years ago on Amazon for my C1500. Way cheaper compared to local parts store.
Pros: cheaper than local store
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
I would go with KYB, best for the price at least
Pros: best for price
Go with KYB on Rock Auto. They seem to ride like oem, maybe a touch stiffer before break-in.
Pros: OEM-like ride
Cons: stiffer before break-in
I bought the shocks. They're good, very happy with them. Setting 1 is basically stock, though was better controlled with what I had. Setting 8 is noticeably firmer - allows much quicker inputs. Currently have them on 3/8 all around and car is balanced - maybe about as firm as an NB RS.
Pros: better controlled, quicker inputs
Cons: not crazy comfortable
Vehicle:
Mazda
Bought KYB’s from summit racing and did the job for under $300 parts.
Pros: affordable parts
I’ve had good results with kyb.
Pros: good results
As for the continental kit affecting the handling, I really don't think it makes a difference, the handling is terrifying! There is a long 90 degree curve near me, and when I try to push the car thru it, I get body lean, tire squeal, and understeer that slowly gives way to a neutral attitude.
Pros: balances out the weight
Cons: terrifying handling, body lean
Personally I've had bad luck with KYB strut mounts and bearings getting noisy. And in my experience they are too harsh.
Cons: strut mounts noisy, too harsh
