Shock absorbers KYB or Sachs

Replace or upgrade shock absorbers / dampers. These are doing the hard work on rougher roads to keep everything under control. KYB seems a reasonable OEM+ style option

I recently did all 4 shocks in my 2002. I got the KYB Gas-a-just shocks from rockauto.com for like $40 per. They’re OEM fit and do what they’re supposed to.

I put KYB on my 07 Corolla and 2-3 months in they feel great, car rides very smooth.

I did KYB … They made a huge change to my 99 Corolla.

KYB. As good as OEM.

I just put kyb excel-G on my 07 xlt. Rides a little stiff but handles way better. And is definitely night and day riding over bumps/backroads

Went with KYbs to replace the originals on my 96. Drives like new and they were cheap off rock auto

KYB shocks are working fine for me. I have an ilx. Same platform

I put KYB's in my 924S and they were fine on Hawai'i's questionable roads.

Now I have discovered something interesting. I have twice had to remove one of the Sachs shocks because the stop clip came out of the groove in the piston. I figured I must have overtightened the nut on top and pushed it off, so I only finger tightened it the second time. It slipped again. I looked at the clip groove on the Sachs piston and was shocked to see that instead of being square cut like the Bilstein, it was taper cut which obviously stupid. There is no way this clip is going to stay put unless I am able to modify the groove to give it a ledge for the clip to rest on.
