Shock absorbers KYB or Rough Country

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.

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.

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

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 bought KYB shocks from a distributor to install in the struts in my '04 crv, and they lasted less than a year.

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.
