I use KYB's on beater passenger cars literally all the time because they last a lot longer than Monroe's and honestly they are good quality shocks (they are OEM on Toyotas and most Hondas I believe for a reason).
I picked them up and seem to work pretty good.
Bought some Koni Special Active s truts and shocks (hoping to get softer-than-stock ride on all the high-frequency cracks and potholes) and also looking to replace all the coil springs.
I had Koni adjustable yellows on mine. It was great. I could dial softer for better ride then stiffen it up for fun.
Koni FSD Reds. They self adjust for the road conditions. I’ve been running them in my Mazda for a year now, and I love them! Soft and pliable for regular driving, stiff for spirited driving.
I fitted my 2020 Jimny with Koni Heavy Track shock absorbers from OzJimny. This mod has substantially reduced body roll on corners, it's tighter onroad and less susceptible to wind on the highway.
I’m running Koni Yellow SA with H&R Sport Springs + E90 drop hats.
Running Ronal LS wheels (15x7.5) with a 5mm spacer in front and 12.5mm spacers out back. Rear fenders are rolled because it rubbed with the spacers.
I love this setup personally - relatively low but still functional and comfortable..ish
2 year later update: finally decided to get new shocks, kyb this time. What a world of difference. No bounce and am using the same bump stops as before.
I put KYB's in my 924S and they were fine on Hawai'i's questionable roads.
Running Koni FSD shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit, the Car is mostly used as a family car and wife, but wanted to stiffen things up a bit and close the gap in the wheel well area. Been running these for about 10 months and I LOVE the look, but the ride SUCKS!!! Its just way too bouncy for me and The amount of travel before the shock bottoms out seems like it is about 1\" (although I know it is more) and then you feel all that force through your body. It also seems very \"bouncy\", the ride in the passenger seats is even worse.
