I have both and prefer the excel-g for 90% of driving.
I just put them in all my shocks! I’m also pretty sure KYBs were OEM albeit a bit different (when I removed the original KYB struts on my aw11 they were silver instead of black) so far the new ones feel great!
I run excel g's on my 1j cressida. Kyb isnt "cheap" let alone the excel g's.
Kyb is the opposite of cheapo in my experience. Rock auto kyb should be oem or better. I’ve used them on other cars
I'm running those exact shocks on all 4 corners and it's the best handling car I own. They work great
A 2” lift on Bilsteins 5100 shocks is the best bang for the buck.
Can't go wrong with billstein 5100's set at an 1 1/2 lift to get the extended travel out of em.
just did Bilstein B6s. I generally want an OEM feel, but tires are so much stickier now, so going B6 made sense.
I've used them before a couple of times. They're decent for the price just don't expect high end performance valving in them. If all you do is daily drive it to work and back home and do your shopping in it. They are 100% fine and perfect for that if you wanted more of a GT car.
I installed KYB shocks and the ride quality sucks. Very rough
