My brother got KYB ones and they are ok.
They are on the softer side, but so far they last pretty good. 3 years and 60000km and no leaks.
Pros: last pretty good, no leaks
Cons: on the softer side
Mileage: 60000 km

I put those on my 2007 Maxima and didn't have a good result. The rear KYB shock absorbers were way too stiff and they made the car bouncy at highway speeds.
Cons: too stiff, bouncy at highway speeds
Vehicle:
Nissan Maxima
I put KYB OEM equivalent shocks on my old Crown Vic several years ago. The major brands made the car float and bob like a '62 model. I tried KYB because they had a set for my car and a 2-3 year range. Everyone else was 'this fits '75 thru 2002 models. I was very pleased with them.
Pros: good performance
Vehicle:
Ford Crown Victoria I

I run KYB Monomax shocks on mine. They have a nice balance of a comfortable ride and weight support for towing. As an added bonus you get a lifetime warranty with them.
Pros: comfortable ride, weight support
Put on some KYB Excel-G shocks- avail at Rock Auto. Think I paid about $60/pair They’re Plain Jane (flat black) and the ones we got (lifted older SUV) doesn’t have the rubber boots that take on & hold water- happened several times to an old truck of mine.
Pros: affordable, plain jane
Cons: boots hold water
Annoyingly I have a 1 year old kyb excel g that popped its seal. Cost to ship it back for warranty not worth it.
Cons: popped its seal
