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.
Kyb are some of the best shocks you can get in terms of quality and lifespan. That being said they’re known for being stiffer. I happen to like it since it minimizes body roll and improves handling. Better loaded performance when towing or hauling heavy too. But you will notice it ride a little harsher.
Boas, tive um Golf V durante 12 anos. Usei molas de rebaixamento + amortecedores sport (koni), usei suspensão original com molas de rebaixamento e por fim usei coilovers.
I have Koni reds. I just wanted to rid of the wafty ride, and it fixed it up. It is a little too firm now for my liking but still better than original
KYB G shocks on mine f100 and they are absolutely butter
Looks fine, and acts like a shock. That shop just trying to scam you. Bump stops looking torn, but that's fine. Use them as long as possible, eventually upgrade to Koni Yellows if they make it for the Mini's.
I put KYB monomax from Rock Auto they were a really great deal and feel great about a year later (almost 20k miles on em).
I have the Koni yellows. Stick with OEM Sachs. Unless you are doing a ton of freeway miles, or want the feel of a go-cart(which is a little fun), the shocks are not worth the ride or the money. The ride is too stiff for street, but absolutely perfect on the highway cruising over 85mph for hours.
My brother got KYB ones and they are ok.
They are on the softer side, but so far they last pretty good. 3 years and 60000km and no leaks.
I was expecting KYB to last way longer than this. The OEM struts/shocks on my 2007 Rav4 lasted 193k, and I replaced the front struts and rear shocks with KYB from RockAuto. After 37k miles (230k miles now), it's bouncy again.
