Rating 4.0

I was looking around for a 2 inch lift for my gen 3 and eventually settled with KYB skorched 4's and King springs. My stock suspension was gone and sagging rear drivers side. The new spring/shock combo is a nice ride, comfy enough, and good for all types of terrain so far.

Pros: nice ride, comfy enough
Cons: not assembled, no bump stops

KYB makes really good shocks. FCS if you are on a budget. Probably the best budget brand. You'll still close to OEM ride but probably would wear out earlier

Pros: close to OEM ride
Cons: wear out earlier

My brother got KYB ones and they are ok.

They are on the softer side, but so far they last pretty good. 3 years and 60000km and no leaks.

Pros: last pretty good, no leaks
Cons: on the softer side
Mileage: 60000 km

I would rebuild the struts with new KYB shocks and retain the OEM springs and buy new OEM mounts. I have had terrible luck with quickstruts in a Lexus.

Cons: terrible luck
Vehicle: Lexus LS

I put those on my 2007 Maxima and didn't have a good result. The rear KYB shock absorbers were way too stiff and they made the car bouncy at highway speeds.

Cons: too stiff, bouncy at highway speeds
Vehicle: Nissan Maxima
