Shock absorbers KYB or OEM Volkswagen

I have around 20k on KYB gas adjust shocks and like them alot.

With my weight of only 60kgs medyo natigasan ako sa stock shocks so i upgraded it with the softer kyb v3 which me and a lot of ab users would agree the best aftermarket shocks for its price range.

The Gas-A-just model is pretty stiff, go with the excel g’s. They have a much smoother ride.

I put Sachs in all the Mk1 front ends that I work on, including my own. For the rear, I use KYB Gas Adjust, because I haul and tow with mine, and I want the shocks to be stiff.

I actually just got down putting on some rear KYB shocks for my ole gurl.

I bought KYB shocks few years ago on Amazon for my C1500. Way cheaper compared to local parts store.

I would go with KYB, best for the price at least

The Excel-G (which I believe are called the GR-2 now) are stock replacements. If you just want to freshen things up, they'd be fine, and with a mild drop I think they'd be okay in terms of longevity (but you never know). If you're looking for a performance shock though, the GR-2 is not it.

I'm running KYB shocks right now (not yet lowered) and it's a pretty reasonable ride

Every time I get kyb they work great for like 6 months to a year and then they suck. I put the OEM shocks on my truck cause I didnt wanna keep changing them.
