Rating 4.0

Am montat pe 2 masini diferite (O2 si O2 FL) monroe respectiv kyb si nu observ nicio diferenta intre ele. Ambele sunt ok si la confort si la stabilitate.

Pros: confort si stabilitate
Cons: nicio diferenta observata
Vehicle: Skoda Octavia

I was looking around for a 2 inch lift for my gen 3 and eventually settled with KYB skorched 4's and King springs. My stock suspension was gone and sagging rear drivers side. The new spring/shock combo is a nice ride, comfy enough, and good for all types of terrain so far.

Pros: nice ride, comfy enough
Cons: not assembled, no bump stops

KYB makes really good shocks. FCS if you are on a budget. Probably the best budget brand. You'll still close to OEM ride but probably would wear out earlier

Pros: close to OEM ride
Cons: wear out earlier

It seems most suggest KYB, but I have only found the Gabriel's to come loaded. Don't think I'm willing to add expenses by buying new parts to load the KYB. Price on the a Gabriels seems right at about $200ish all around so I'll likely bite on that one.

KYB Shock absorbers

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
