Shock absorbers KYB or OEM Volkswagen

KYB. As good as OEM.

I just put kyb excel-G on my 07 xlt. Rides a little stiff but handles way better. And is definitely night and day riding over bumps/backroads

Went with KYbs to replace the originals on my 96. Drives like new and they were cheap off rock auto

KYB shocks are working fine for me. I have an ilx. Same platform

KYB Gas a just is a monotube like Fox, Rancho, Bilstein, on the economical side, and still perform well for a daily driver.

I’ve had good luck with KYB shocks.

On my 2016 prius, I bought kyb structs and shocks for $400 installed it for 350

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.

I put KYB Excel-G on my 7th gen civic, they seem to ride fine, but for some reason the rear of the car sits an inch or two higher than the original stock suspension.

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