Shocks, struts, and strut parts: I always recommend the premium option for suspension parts. The system actually says that subtly. Typically that's the KYB brand.
The front I also got KYB struts. No issues with fitment but I needed to rent an extra set of spring compressors as the front coils were thicker more difficult to compress.
I've used kyb complete struts on several cars and they have always been good.
KYB good stuff. Put all 4 on my 97 golf 6 yrs perfect.
I also put MK2 Scirocco sway bars on her car, front and rear, and with Sachs struts all the way around, it handled and rode fantastic.
KYB is OE on a Toyota. I have used these on several cars without an issue. They might be a little stiff at first.
I noticed similar results with kyb excel g on my sienna.
The factory Sachs struts are also pretty good. Not sure if the M-Sport got different shocks from the regular sport, but all that's left anymore from Sachs are sport struts. Unfortunately for those of us without the sport package it makes shock replacement a pain, since their resting position is shorter than stock, and makes them shorter than the spring. I never want to do that repair ever again.
I bought a pair of front struts with the spring assembly , I thought I was getting the top shelf units KYB , put them on and they rattle called they said that it was normal , nope I don't think so
I no longer use any quick struts. The ride sucks and they just don't last.
