Put some on my Honda in January. I value handling and they didn't dissapoint; a little rough when they were first installed but became pleasant after around 15k kms of use. I've read that KYB tunes their dampers to "compensate for worn parts" and they've certainly done that.
I bought some cheap ebay coilovers (struts and shocks), and the ride was terrible. Incredibly stiff. I eventually had the opportunity to upgrade my coilovers, so I got Koni Shocks. Quality, name brand (Koni) shocks rode better with springs that were twice as stiff
I went with Koni yellows during paragons summer sale and I love them. Soft for daily driving, and I can turn them up to hit the track or the hills.
bought mine on autohausaz 179513031 KYB Shock Absorber; Rear; Gas-A-Just they work great. Technically the best? No probally not the best in the world. but they are OEM equivalent.
Koni yellows will improve the ride, it's a worthwhile upgrade.
So to play safe with any height of spring setups, you add Koni Yellow shock absorbers.
My 2013 B7 SEL Premium on H&R Sport Springs and Koni Yellow SPORTS on Audi S7 20" reps. The perfect setup IMO.
Koni Sports :thumbup:
I ran the FSD shocks on my MKV GLI for about 55k i can tell you that after a while the floating starts to appear... you mostly notice it at about 45mph over smaller bumps...
DO NOT -- DO NOT get them -- you would be better off replacing your shocks with 2X4s... they are the harshest ride ever -- even on the softest setting.
