Reviews of KYB shock absorbers

Front brake pads Front shocks (kyb gr2)

The KYB shocks I ordered from them had the wrong bushings, both front and back sets.

I have used Monroe, Gabriel, and now KYB. I am convinced the KYB provides better control AND ride.

Based on what I've experienced with my S3 w/o the mag ride w/18s. The ride quality is fine. Part of my drive to work is a country road I drive that is 15 miles of very bumpy asphalt that has been patched over and over. I'm looking forward to trying it out at an autocross in the coming weeks. I surmise the standard suspension will do very well. The ride is on par w/an Evo w/newer KYB shocks or older Bilsteins which is great for me, but others may find it a bit firm.

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).

i have a set of those on my caddy that were installed when my dad and i rebuilt my truck in 2002 and they work just fine.

New KYB gas adjust shocks on all four corners.

AAS (Auto Adjusting Suspension) 3 stage adjustable shocks with motor on top that adjusts damping. Super simple reliable system. OEM Front shocks on my car lasted til 300k km. Rear shocks lasted til 240k.

KYB GR-2 rear shocks to replace leaking originals - $115

KYBs cost only a little bit more than comparable Monroes, and in my experience they're a lot nicer than Monroes.
