KYB I have not had any issues with in normal use.
Pros: no issues in normal use
I went with KYB rear struts for my 07 Touring earlier this year and the rear feels tighter and more stable over bumps.
Pros: tighter and more stable
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Ive had the same set of KYB Excels on front/rear for the last 70,000mi. They have held up incredibly well. Stiff enough to handle payload but responsive enough to mitigate a pothole on commuter roads. I would buy again, the price is great and they've lasted years.
Pros: held up well, handles payload, responsive, great price, lasted years
Mileage: 70000 km
Kyb are some of the best shocks you can get in terms of quality and lifespan. That being said they’re known for being stiffer. I happen to like it since it minimizes body roll and improves handling. Better loaded performance when towing or hauling heavy too. But you will notice it ride a little harsher.
Pros: good quality, long lifespan, minimizes body roll, improves handling, better loaded performance
Cons: stiffer ride, a little harsher
KYB G shocks on mine f100 and they are absolutely butter
Pros: extremely smooth ride
Vehicle:
Ford
The front suspension is also completely blown out so I was going to replace the struts and rear shocks.
Pros: replacing blown suspension
Cons: suspension completely blown
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
They’re fine stock replacements, mine just started to leak after 4k years and roughly 20,000 miles
Pros: fine stock replacements
Cons: started to leak
Mileage: 32186 km
I bought KYB shocks from a distributor to install in the struts in my '04 crv, and they lasted less than a year.
Cons: lasted less than year
Vehicle:
Honda
Bought new struts from kyb, one was really stuff and looked new the other one was not as stiff and had a lot of dust on it meaning it could have been sitting for a while, is possible the less stuff one is damaged and I have to return it or is it normal for there to be a little bit of variance between the sides. I was pumping them manually as I know you have too and that's when I noticed the difference..
Pros: one strut stiff and new
Cons: other strut less stiff, dusty; inconsistent quality
