My two cents. KYB is great, don’t buy a eco KYB get something in the daily driver to performance range. The cheap KYB are just too hard riding IMO.
I have around 20k on KYB gas adjust shocks and like them alot.
With my weight of only 60kgs medyo natigasan ako sa stock shocks so i upgraded it with the softer kyb v3 which me and a lot of ab users would agree the best aftermarket shocks for its price range.
The Gas-A-just model is pretty stiff, go with the excel g’s. They have a much smoother ride.
the rear shocks i just replaced were about 50 bucks
I put Sachs in all the Mk1 front ends that I work on, including my own. For the rear, I use KYB Gas Adjust, because I haul and tow with mine, and I want the shocks to be stiff.
I actually just got down putting on some rear KYB shocks for my ole gurl.
I bought KYB shocks few years ago on Amazon for my C1500. Way cheaper compared to local parts store.
I'm running KYB shocks right now (not yet lowered) and it's a pretty reasonable ride
Took a Limited double cab for a test drive yesterday (just a base Limited—no TRD). I’m glad I did because after that drive it eliminated any thought of getting one so that’s another off the list. I couldn’t get back to the dealership fast enough—it was so severely under-shocked that I was almost puking by the time I got it back. I can’t believe they would ever let a truck go for sale with that kind of rebounding, and I’m talking normal city streets—you’d be off the road in five minutes on a washboard gravel road. Maybe the off-road would be better with the Bilstein shocks, but holy cow this was bad. Interior was cheap plastic everywhere, hated the big drive-in theatre screen. The only thing I liked was the seat adjustment. Popped the hood—what a joke the hood latch is...who the hell designed this stuff? I could have folded that long tin lever with my pinky! Engine performance was OK, laggy and the transmission programming needs work. Anyway...if you’re considering one definitely wait a year until they get things sorted but wow...I was shocked...literally...
