Reviews of KYB parts For Business

I have both and prefer the excel-g for 90% of driving.

I just put them in all my shocks! I’m also pretty sure KYBs were OEM albeit a bit different (when I removed the original KYB struts on my aw11 they were silver instead of black) so far the new ones feel great!

I run excel g's on my 1j cressida. Kyb isnt "cheap" let alone the excel g's.

Kyb is the opposite of cheapo in my experience. Rock auto kyb should be oem or better. I’ve used them on other cars

I'm running those exact shocks on all 4 corners and it's the best handling car I own. They work great

I have KYB on my sedan, very nice ride

Ride height went up by 2” on the new struts, I’m not surprised the KYB equipment looks like it’s sitting taller.

Just replaced my 2008 Highlander struts with quick struts made by KYB an OEM manufacturer for Toyota. The struts, coils and springs are all made by KYB BUT they do not ride like the OEMs and are far stiffer. $800 vs $1500 - would I do this again. Probably spring for the direct OEM parts from stealer vs the KYB quick struts.

I installed KYB shocks and the ride quality sucks. Very rough

I commuted a short distance on my KYBs and never really noticed an issue. Then I started commuting 40 miles each way on them, and I realized just how terrible they are. I think there is an old adage on one of the forums that KYB stands for “Kill Your Back”. Cant recommend them.
