Shock absorbers KYB or Dobinsons

KYBs were good improvement over stock for my shit box long ago.

I've bought Gas-a-Justs on closeouts with no regrets.

I run kyb with tein springs on both of my spyders and they've been great

I have both and prefer the excel-g for 90% of driving.

I just put them in all my shocks! I’m also pretty sure KYBs were OEM albeit a bit different (when I removed the original KYB struts on my aw11 they were silver instead of black) so far the new ones feel great!

I run excel g's on my 1j cressida. Kyb isnt "cheap" let alone the excel g's.

Kyb is the opposite of cheapo in my experience. Rock auto kyb should be oem or better. I’ve used them on other cars

I'm running those exact shocks on all 4 corners and it's the best handling car I own. They work great

Cheapest shocks are gonna be KYB shocks, they are alright

I commuted a short distance on my KYBs and never really noticed an issue. Then I started commuting 40 miles each way on them, and I realized just how terrible they are. I think there is an old adage on one of the forums that KYB stands for “Kill Your Back”. Cant recommend them.
