Shock absorbers KYB or Rancho

I've bought Gas-a-Justs on closeouts with no regrets.

I run kyb with tein springs on both of my spyders and they've been great

I have both and prefer the excel-g for 90% of driving.

I just put them in all my shocks! I’m also pretty sure KYBs were OEM albeit a bit different (when I removed the original KYB struts on my aw11 they were silver instead of black) so far the new ones feel great!

I run excel g's on my 1j cressida. Kyb isnt "cheap" let alone the excel g's.

Kyb is the opposite of cheapo in my experience. Rock auto kyb should be oem or better. I’ve used them on other cars

It seems most suggest KYB, but I have only found the Gabriel's to come loaded. Don't think I'm willing to add expenses by buying new parts to load the KYB. Price on the a Gabriels seems right at about $200ish all around so I'll likely bite on that one.

Kyb suck and monroe isnt too much better. I ended up paying out the nose for OEM shocks on my truck and I'm glad I did

And the adjustable 9000 series are so stiff even on the softest settings. Had them for a while on my E-350 shuttle bus which weighs in just under 10k lbs.

Those factory Ranchos are terrible. They are stiff as heck.
