Reviews of KYB parts For Business

the ride with the kyb's was quite good.

Replace or upgrade shock absorbers / dampers. These are doing the hard work on rougher roads to keep everything under control. KYB seems a reasonable OEM+ style option

I recently did all 4 shocks in my 2002. I got the KYB Gas-a-just shocks from rockauto.com for like $40 per. They’re OEM fit and do what they’re supposed to.

I put KYB on my 07 Corolla and 2-3 months in they feel great, car rides very smooth.

I did KYB … They made a huge change to my 99 Corolla.

I just ordered the kyb loaded strut assembly and put them on all 4 sides last week and they feel great

Installed the rear leafs, beam, new KYB struts, the mk3 GTI stub axles, now just waiting on new bearings, rotors, pads, and calipers for both sides.

KYB. As good as OEM.

The Excel-G (which I believe are called the GR-2 now) are stock replacements. If you just want to freshen things up, they'd be fine, and with a mild drop I think they'd be okay in terms of longevity (but you never know). If you're looking for a performance shock though, the GR-2 is not it.

I initially replaced my front structs and rear shocks with KYB Excel-G parts as they “seemed” to have good ratings and reviews as “good” shocks. The ride quality is now more “rough” and “bouncy” since apparently these shocks/struts are more stiff.
