Go with KYB on Rock Auto. They seem to ride like oem, maybe a touch stiffer before break-in.

Pros: OEM-like ride
Cons: stiffer before break-in

I bought the shocks. They're good, very happy with them. Setting 1 is basically stock, though was better controlled with what I had. Setting 8 is noticeably firmer - allows much quicker inputs. Currently have them on 3/8 all around and car is balanced - maybe about as firm as an NB RS.

Pros: better controlled, quicker inputs
Cons: not crazy comfortable
Vehicle: Mazda

Replace or upgrade shock absorbers / dampers. These are doing the hard work on rougher roads to keep everything under control. KYB seems a reasonable OEM+ style option

Pros: reasonable OEM+ style

I recently did all 4 shocks in my 2002. I got the KYB Gas-a-just shocks from rockauto.com for like $40 per. They’re OEM fit and do what they’re supposed to.

Pros: OEM fit, does job

Every time I get kyb they work great for like 6 months to a year and then they suck. I put the OEM shocks on my truck cause I didnt wanna keep changing them.

Pros: work great initially
Cons: performance degrades quickly
