Kyb on our 2010 elantra. Better than original!
Put new OEM springs matched with Bilstein B4 and they're a bit stiffer now. Awesome for cornering but definitely not as "lush" as they once were. Hopefully they settle a bit more.
I have a 2006 9-3 aero with the v6 and it is a little harsh but I have recently upgraded and gone for bilstein b8 kit with Vogtland lowering springs. I have to say the ride is nice and firm when needed and soft enough day to day.
2in prg spacer lift with bilstien 4600 up front and kyb gas-a-just rear shocks with air lift 1000 bag kit. Best cheap setup for these machines.
I love mine, but it will be a rough ride on the road if your suspension geometry is off.
Bilstein 5100s, I love them on mine. They take a while to break in, but just go beat on them off-road for a day and they’re dreamy.
KYB. Used on my gen 1 and worked great. Tried Monroe on another vehicle and they were soft and bouncy, replaced those with KYB also.
Best bang for your buck would definitely be bilsteins. If you don't do much off-road then bilsteins will be plenty good enough
I’m stock for now, and probably only going to upgrade to some entry/mid-level Bilstein.
I initially replaced my front structs and rear shocks with KYB Excel-G parts as they “seemed” to have good ratings and reviews as “good” shocks. The ride quality is now more “rough” and “bouncy” since apparently these shocks/struts are more stiff.
