Shock absorbers KYB or OEM Volkswagen

Usually change the whole set since the labor cost is already there to open the whole part. Shocks can get OE parts from KYB.

I like the MonoMax, good bang for the buck

I just put a full set of the kyb shocks into my vy ss. But they seem pretty good. Can't fault them.

I like KYB shocks for daily driving because they’re softer than bilsteins or rancho. I’m running Moog constant rate springs with KYB shocks and it’s a smooth predictable ride. I used them in a Pontiac torrent and wrangler with the same results.

for my 2008 Prius I did kyb all four corners in 2019 and the dust boots have now disintegrated. the shocks themselves are still fine.

Make sure the shocks you buy ars KYB. These cars are heavy and have a tendency to eat cheap shocks.

Used to have some on my old Ram. Fairly decent middle of the road option for shocks and they do well with normal commuting.

They’re fine stock replacements, mine just started to leak after 4k years and roughly 20,000 miles

I was expecting KYB to last way longer than this. The OEM struts/shocks on my 2007 Rav4 lasted 193k, and I replaced the front struts and rear shocks with KYB from RockAuto. After 37k miles (230k miles now), it's bouncy again.

I installed KYB shocks and the ride quality sucks. Very rough
