Note 5100s are stiff... Not a soak up the bumps kind of shock FYI

I like mine, just didn't know beforehand so I was a little surprised it felt stiffer than OEM. Also more composed on hard hits, washboard, etc. And notably less body roll, good for on road handling in that sense...

Pros: less body roll, good handling
Cons: stiffer than OEM

KYB Shock absorbers

Usually change the whole set since the labor cost is already there to open the whole part. Shocks can get OE parts from KYB.

Pros: OE parts from KYB

They are pretty close to the stock shocks, just like 10/15% stiffer.. I honestly ride speed bumps much faster in the 8 (regular 18" on non XL Michelin PS4) than with a 2024 Yaris with 16" lol.

Pros: 10-15% stiffer, faster over bumps
Vehicle: Mazda

I just put a full set of the kyb shocks into my vy ss. But they seem pretty good. Can't fault them.

Pros: seem pretty good, no faults
