Reviews of KYB strut assembly

KYB struts are reputable but they aren't known for being softer. I also know of issues with the easy strut assemblies causing clunking sounds.

I went with all KYB on my 07. I don’t like them. I feel like they are much stiffer

Bought KYB’s from summit racing and did the job for under $300 parts.

I put KYB on my 2010 and it road very harsh. Then I put the on my 2016 still harsh but a bit better

I ordered up bare kyb excel-g struts. Went ahead and installed them. But the ride is harsh. I'd say ride quality is a 3 out of 10 in town 5 out of 10 on the highway. I think the new struts are acting fine. It's just the springs are so tight and don't allow any forgiveness. The handling is great around the corners.

I’ve had good results with kyb.

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.

I replaced mine with KYBs all around last year. Rides excellent and doesn't feel stiff. Reused the springs.

I prefer KYB but I have used Gabriel and Monroe with good results. The KYB’s had a noticeably better ride than the other choices.
