KYB Shock absorbers

I also recently replaced the rear shocks. The rear shocks on the premium model with the adjustable controls are just stupid expensive, even from a dealer that sells at wholesale. Anyways, a GX owner found the KYB equivalent for $175 from Partsouq in Dubai. Ordered a pair plus new rubber mounts and installed those a few weeks ago.

Pros: KYB equivalent available
Cons: OEM shocks expensive
Vehicle: Lexus

KONI Shock absorbers

I have Koni Yellows and stock springs on my '93 Corrrado SLC (VR6) that's in storage. I put the dampening right in the middle and they rode great and my Corrado handled great.

Pros: rode great, handled great
Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

I live in CT and went back to stock springs with gas charged sporty shocks on my 84 GTI for the same reason. Car is 10x more fun to drive now IMO. Still sporty I'm running the stock springs with Bilstien in the back

Pros: more fun to drive
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I’ve had 5100s and fox 2.0s.

The 5100s are over damped, unless you drive fast as hell or drive your truck like a sports car the fox’s are gonna ride way better

Pros: fox rides way better
Cons: 5100s are over damped

Every time I get kyb they work great for like 6 months to a year and then they suck. I put the OEM shocks on my truck cause I didnt wanna keep changing them.

Pros: work great initially
Cons: performance degrades quickly
