The KYB Shocks and Quick Struts made it a brand-new car.

EXCEPT, with the OEM suspension, it never rode so WELL.

The vague, plush, sloppy feel of OEM felt like crap. No steering response or any road feel, anytime you tried to avoid a pothole in the road, you seemed to hit it.

Pros: brand-new car

Cons: vague, plush, sloppy feel

Vehicle: Honda Fit

Mileage: 120000 km
