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!

Pros: feel great, OEM quality

Vehicle: Toyota MR2

Kyb is the opposite of cheapo in my experience. Rock auto kyb should be oem or better. I’ve used them on other cars

Pros: better than OEM, not cheap
