Shock absorbers KYB or FOX

KYB shocks are working fine for me. I have an ilx. Same platform

KYB Gas a just is a monotube like Fox, Rancho, Bilstein, on the economical side, and still perform well for a daily driver.

I’ve had good luck with KYB shocks.

On my 2016 prius, I bought kyb structs and shocks for $400 installed it for 350

I put on the fox shocks and Rubicon front springs as wells as some 34’s and it does great off road while still towing well.

The KYB Shocks and Quick Struts made it a brand-new car.

EXCEPT, with the OEM suspension, it never rode so WELL.

The vague, plush, sloppy feel of OEM felt like crap. No steering response or any road feel, anytime you tried to avoid a pothole in the road, you seemed to hit it.

I put KYB OEM equivalent shocks on my old Crown Vic several years ago. The major brands made the car float and bob like a '62 model. I tried KYB because they had a set for my car and a 2-3 year range. Everyone else was 'this fits '75 thru 2002 models. I was very pleased with them.

I went with KYB OEs for my 96. Really good ride and were cheap for the set on rock auto.

I put KYB Excel-G on my 7th gen civic, they seem to ride fine, but for some reason the rear of the car sits an inch or two higher than the original stock suspension.

I kinda just went through it when we got it...new shocks (not really happy with the KYB I got, and wish I got new springs, too).
