I was looking around for a 2 inch lift for my gen 3 and eventually settled with KYB skorched 4's and King springs. My stock suspension was gone and sagging rear drivers side. The new spring/shock combo is a nice ride, comfy enough, and good for all types of terrain so far.
KYB makes really good shocks. FCS if you are on a budget. Probably the best budget brand. You'll still close to OEM ride but probably would wear out earlier
I did my Prius with KYB after the stock parts started seeping after 160k. I’m at 210k now and they are still good.
I was expecting KYB to last way longer than this. The OEM struts/shocks on my 2007 Rav4 lasted 193k, and I replaced the front struts and rear shocks with KYB from RockAuto. After 37k miles (230k miles now), it's bouncy again.
We did just replace the original shocks though. Went cheap with KYB but the ride quality improved tremendously over the worn out shocks.
The ride is "smoother" as in it doesn't bounce nearly as much when taking bumps. It's easier to control. Daughter noticed right away and said it's not throwing her all over the place. Cornering is far better since it doesn't want to roll as much.
I bought a few parts back off of it, including the nearly new KYB shocks I put on it that I then put on my sg(they were sg shocks).
recently upgraded all 4 shocks, if you’re looking for something for better performance go for kyb, tein, or monroe.
I currently own a 90s car. Ginagamit ko siya for daily use but I'm planning to have the coil and shock absorber replaced. My priority is comfort. Question, ano ang mas makakapagbigay ng comfy ride? Stock KYB shocks o adjustable coil over?
I installed KYB shocks and the ride quality sucks. Very rough
I commuted a short distance on my KYBs and never really noticed an issue. Then I started commuting 40 miles each way on them, and I realized just how terrible they are. I think there is an old adage on one of the forums that KYB stands for “Kill Your Back”. Cant recommend them.
