KYB Shock absorbers

Rating 4.0

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.

Pros: good handling, pleasant after break-in
Cons: a little rough initially
Mileage: 15000 km

I bought some cheap ebay coilovers (struts and shocks), and the ride was terrible. Incredibly stiff. I eventually had the opportunity to upgrade my coilovers, so I got Koni Shocks. Quality, name brand (Koni) shocks rode better with springs that were twice as stiff

Pros: quality shocks rode better
Cons: cheap coilovers terrible

I went with Koni yellows during paragons summer sale and I love them. Soft for daily driving, and I can turn them up to hit the track or the hills.

Pros: soft for daily driving, adjustable for track

DO NOT -- DO NOT get them -- you would be better off replacing your shocks with 2X4s... they are the harshest ride ever -- even on the softest setting.

Cons: harshest ride ever
