I have them on my k2500 suburban and they’re great. It’s much nicer to drive and helped things feel more planted when towing.
Pros: nicer to drive, more planted
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Suburban
Koni yellow. They’re adjustable and can be extremely stiff or nice and soft, and you get to decide what they feel like. They can be dialed up for a track day or put back down to soft for bad roads. I absolutely love them.
Pros: adjustable, stiff or soft
Vehicle:
BMW
I almost went with KYB but got Koni Active instead and holy crap am I glad I did. For WI roads I wouldn’t buy anything else ever again.
Pros: glad I did
Vehicle:

I tried both of them, dobinsons shocks stiff you will be shaking in the road, but it was good for offroading for me I changed the dobinson for the profender alot softer and great handling in the road and awesome in offroad. I recommend the profender for sure.
Pros: softer, great handling
Cons: dobinsons shocks stiff
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
