Shock absorbers KYB or FOX

Put some on my Honda in January. I value handling and they didn't dissapoint; a little rough when they were first installed but became pleasant after around 15k kms of use. I've read that KYB tunes their dampers to "compensate for worn parts" and they've certainly done that.

bought mine on autohausaz 179513031 KYB Shock Absorber; Rear; Gas-A-Just they work great. Technically the best? No probally not the best in the world. but they are OEM equivalent.

I put the Excel-G's on my girlfriend's Trailblazer last year. They're better than the worn-out OEM suspension, and they were really cheap.

I've always like the GR2 for a regular street car. Sure, Bilsteins are objectively better, but there's nothing wrong with Excel-Gs, nee GR2.

I always liked the Monte Carlo SS. While not a great car stock. It can be made into a fun car over time with out to big a hit at any one point. Poly graphite bushishings, Springs, kyb gas adjust or better shocks, fast ratio box, and add in some sway bars. You fixed the suspension issues that are most glaring with out extensive testing or work. The brakes you can add better calipers for decent grip, and finish it off with rotors/pads.

I'll be utilizing KYB AGX 8-way dampening adjustable shocks.

I have used Monroe, Gabriel, and now KYB. I am convinced the KYB provides better control AND ride.

I had GR-2s on an old Mk3 Golf. They were fine.

my uncle has KYB non-adjustable shocks/struts and they SUCK. I need a kidney transplant whenever i ride in his car. They are soo harsh and stiff, they actually reduce traction. No body roll, squat, or dive, but i wouldnt recommend them for a daily driver
