I found on a forum that rear springs for the 2009-2012 Vera Cruz fit the Santa Fe and give it approximately a one inch lift over stock and a much superior spring rate. Along with a new set of KYB gas shocks it changed the ride of the vehicle drastically for the better.

Pros: changed ride drastically, superior spring rate
Cons: negative camber wear
Vehicle: Hyundai Santa Fe

I just lowered my wife's car (per her request) on H&R springs with new kyb shocks. It rides a bit stiffer (as expected) but no issues with rubbing or alignment. The turn-in response is greatly improved as well as body roll reduction.

Pros: improved turn-in response, reduced body roll
Cons: stiffer ride
Vehicle: Mazda

I replaced my Mazda RX8s struts with kyb gas-a-just shocks and really like them! For a rwd sports car that I occasionally autocross they haven’t let me down!

Pros: reliable, good performance
Vehicle: Mazda

My brother got KYB ones and they are ok.

They are on the softer side, but so far they last pretty good. 3 years and 60000km and no leaks.

Pros: last pretty good, no leaks
Cons: on the softer side

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.

Cons: terrible ride quality, uncomfortable
