I also installed new KYB shocks (which seem to make the car sit rather high in my opinion).
Cons: car sits rather high
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco

Rears I did the KYB and am pleased.
Pros: pleased with performance
I had KYBs, they’re nice for the price.
Pros: nice for the price
Vehicle:
Nissan
I have KYB AGX in the front and then just Bilsteins in the rear with Steeda lowering springs. I got a crazy discount on the KYBs so that’s why I went with them lol. Feels great though
Pros: Feels great
The only major expensive maintenance I have had to do on my 04 prerunner was rebuilding the whole suspension at around 225k miles. The leaf springs were toast and the front end was starting to get there. I did everything myself and it wasn’t to crazy price wise, maybe $1200.
Pros: cheap OEM parts
Cons: leaf springs were toast
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 225000 km
Pro-V Mechanic here, usually kapag sira ang rear shock niyo po, you'd usually hear a loud bang or kumakalabog kapag napapadaan kayo sa lubac or uneven road. Another key diagnosing if whether or not sira ang rear shock or front shock niyo is fluid leakage, usually may marka ng leak shiny oil na meron kayo makikita or kapag na touch niyo yung shock niyo and found out na maitim at basa yung feeling it means destroyed na yung shocks niyo may need replacing. Same diagnostic sound na maririnig niyo sa harap. So if napansin niyo na kumakalabog na shocks niyo, better to replace them as soon as possible for a comfortable ride. Trusted Brands for cheaper alternative is Nitro-Tech But if you want something a bit balance yet good price range KYB is the way to go.
Pros: comfortable ride, good price range
Cons: fluid leakage, loud bang
On mine I pieced together all the joints with Moog parts and KYB shocks and replaced the rear leaf spring hangers (rust kills them) rather than go with a generic kit.
12k later and it all seems fine
Pros: shocks seem fine
Cons: rust kills hangers
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
Mileage: 12000 km
KYB makes good shocks, but I’m wary of most “quick struts” because almost all of them use the cheapest upper mounts and bearings possible.
Pros: good shocks
Cons: cheap upper mounts
KYB are usually the best value for the quality
Pros: best value, good quality
Vehicle:
Volvo V70
Usually change the whole set since the labor cost is already there to open the whole part. Shocks can get OE parts from KYB.
Pros: OE parts from KYB
