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.

Pros: good quality, long lifespan, minimizes body roll, improves handling, better loaded performance
Cons: stiffer ride, a little harsher

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.

Pros: changed ride drastically, superior spring rate
Cons: negative camber wear
Vehicle: Hyundai Santa Fe

I just lowered my wife's car (per her request) on H&R springs with new kyb shocks. It rides a bit stiffer (as expected) but no issues with rubbing or alignment. The turn-in response is greatly improved as well as body roll reduction.

Pros: improved turn-in response, reduced body roll
Cons: stiffer ride
Vehicle: Mazda

I did a rough country lift on my Silverado. The shocks aren’t bad but they definitely aren’t great. It handles bumps better than it did when it was stock but I’ll definitely be upgrading to bilsteins when these shocks go bad.

Pros: handles bumps better
Cons: aren’t bad but aren’t great

Their hard parts like control arms and brackets are pretty good, but their soft parts like shocks and joints aren't very good. They tend to be clunky and not last very long.

Pros: control arms pretty good
Cons: shocks not very good
