I just put a full set of the kyb shocks into my vy ss. But they seem pretty good. Can't fault them.
I like KYB shocks for daily driving because they’re softer than bilsteins or rancho. I’m running Moog constant rate springs with KYB shocks and it’s a smooth predictable ride. I used them in a Pontiac torrent and wrangler with the same results.
I’m running Fox shocks now and they feel much better than the bilsteins wich i had prior to Fox .
for my 2008 Prius I did kyb all four corners in 2019 and the dust boots have now disintegrated. the shocks themselves are still fine.
Make sure the shocks you buy ars KYB. These cars are heavy and have a tendency to eat cheap shocks.
I’m running the Fox Performance Elite all round on my 2020 and love them. Pricey
Ive had the same set of KYB Excels on front/rear for the last 70,000mi. They have held up incredibly well. Stiff enough to handle payload but responsive enough to mitigate a pothole on commuter roads. I would buy again, the price is great and they've lasted years.
I've used those on several other cars and they're a solid "fine". They work, and they're not bad. Just don't expect them to be amazing.
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 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.
