Shock absorbers KYB or KONI

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

Koni all day, you simply can't beat the lifetime warranty on them. I had my rears leak after 5 years and Koni replaced for free.

I have KYB on my sedan, very nice ride

I've use the KYBs several times, they have a good street ride.

For shocks I’d probably run a KYB AGX with a pedders spring if you can’t get something like an eibach

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.
