Reviews of KYB strut assembly

Bought new struts from kyb, one was really stuff and looked new the other one was not as stiff and had a lot of dust on it meaning it could have been sitting for a while, is possible the less stuff one is damaged and I have to return it or is it normal for there to be a little bit of variance between the sides. I was pumping them manually as I know you have too and that's when I noticed the difference..

I used them on my ep81 starlet. Theyre fine. Think of them like oem struts, if not higher quality.

I used the KYB Excel-G struts to replace both fronts on my MR2 Spyder until I got my BC coilovers and they’re fine. Not necessarily any harsher of a ride and they’ve seemed to hold up pretty decent (keep in mind your mileage really may vary as I only did a few thousand miles with them!)

I put those on a 2011. They are slightly stiff but super easy to drop in both front and rear. Really great on the highway but a little harder than I would like on local streets with pot holes.

KYB is the bee’s knees for Lexus. It’s OEM and will get it as close to new as you can get.

the KYB struts are just as good as OEM.

KYB struts got the OEM feel.

Don’t get KYB I got them on my Camry and they didn’t last long. Just get the factory struts IMO.

KYB shouldn’t let you down but don’t sleep on HL Mando. Certainly the one I would go with if you have a Hyundai or Kia as this is their OEM but a ton of other brands use HL Mando from the factory too.

I have an 06’ legacy. Bought the kyb quick struts and haven’t had any problems - ride seems to be comparable to the original ride quality.
