Shock absorbers KYB or KONI

I went with nice, inexpensive low-pressure KYB shocks and they're about right for my use.

Koni shocks did the trick on my old Civic (not the same generation as yours), along with disconnecting the sway bars. Left the shocks on full soft with stock springs.

I’ve been running them for 2 weeks so far on my Mk6, the ride reminds me of my dads Porsche: sporty and mildly stiff but not bone rattling. They say it’s equivalent to the Koni Sport (yellow) on the softest setting. And that’s good bc you won’t need anything stiffer and you’ll never have to adjust/test/adjust with them.

I tend to like KYB, as I like a stiffer ride/steering. I replaced all the shocks and struts on my wife's car and my car in 2019. We've been happy with the performance.

I really liked the KYB's that I put on my Miata, but I paired them with a nice set of springs. But they were stiff man, there's a reason people say that the brand name stands for "Kill Your Back"

I had Bilstein Sports + H&R sports on my coupe for a while and switched to Koni Yellow SA. The ride is better IMO and not as harsh.

I picked the car up yesterday after having the Special Actives installed. AMAZING difference in the way the car rides and drives. Gone is the Toyota Avalon feeling, having been replaced by an Audi-like feeling.

I have Koni oranges paired up with Swift springs. Comfortable enough daily driving and sporty enough for the mountains.

I have the same ones on mine. they seem to do the job just fine. a bit stiffer than the oil filled sachs

The KYB shocks I ordered from them had the wrong bushings, both front and back sets.
