Shock absorbers KYB or OLD MAN EMU

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

Ive had the same set of KYB Excels on front/rear for the last 70,000mi. They have held up incredibly well. Stiff enough to handle payload but responsive enough to mitigate a pothole on commuter roads. I would buy again, the price is great and they've lasted years.

Kyb are some of the best shocks you can get in terms of quality and lifespan. That being said they’re known for being stiffer. I happen to like it since it minimizes body roll and improves handling. Better loaded performance when towing or hauling heavy too. But you will notice it ride a little harsher.

KYB G shocks on mine f100 and they are absolutely butter

I put KYB monomax from Rock Auto they were a really great deal and feel great about a year later (almost 20k miles on em).

I recommend KYB shocks but not the Gas a Just ones. Swapped the oem ones out of my Wrangler and installed the silver ones. Rode a lot smoother, and Not expensive.

I found on a forum that rear springs for the 2009-2012 Vera Cruz fit the Santa Fe and give it approximately a one inch lift over stock and a much superior spring rate. Along with a new set of KYB gas shocks it changed the ride of the vehicle drastically for the better.

I've used those on several other cars and they're a solid "fine". They work, and they're not bad. Just don't expect them to be amazing.

I've used them before a couple of times. They're decent for the price just don't expect high end performance valving in them. If all you do is daily drive it to work and back home and do your shopping in it. They are 100% fine and perfect for that if you wanted more of a GT car.

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.
