I put KYB OEM equivalent shocks on my old Crown Vic several years ago. The major brands made the car float and bob like a '62 model. I tried KYB because they had a set for my car and a 2-3 year range. Everyone else was 'this fits '75 thru 2002 models. I was very pleased with them.
I’ve had Dobinson,bilsteins and now OME and I suggest Toyota OEM. That’ll be your best ride quality on the road by far.
I went with KYB OEs for my 96. Really good ride and were cheap for the set on rock auto.
I run KYB Monomax shocks on mine. They have a nice balance of a comfortable ride and weight support for towing. As an added bonus you get a lifetime warranty with them.
Put on some KYB Excel-G shocks- avail at Rock Auto. Think I paid about $60/pair They’re Plain Jane (flat black) and the ones we got (lifted older SUV) doesn’t have the rubber boots that take on & hold water- happened several times to an old truck of mine.
Kyb on our 2010 elantra. Better than original!
KYB. Used on my gen 1 and worked great. Tried Monroe on another vehicle and they were soft and bouncy, replaced those with KYB also.
I also recently replaced the rear shocks. The rear shocks on the premium model with the adjustable controls are just stupid expensive, even from a dealer that sells at wholesale. Anyways, a GX owner found the KYB equivalent for $175 from Partsouq in Dubai. Ordered a pair plus new rubber mounts and installed those a few weeks ago.
I put KYB Excel-G on my 7th gen civic, they seem to ride fine, but for some reason the rear of the car sits an inch or two higher than the original stock suspension.
I kinda just went through it when we got it...new shocks (not really happy with the KYB I got, and wish I got new springs, too).
