Shock absorbers KYB or Sachs

Rears I did the KYB and am pleased.

I have a Lexus and just paid 350$ just for the Sachs shocks and replacement items, and still have to do the work myself.

I had KYBs, they’re nice for the price.

I changed everything in my suspension, including new shocks and front springs. Compared to what it was it was a huge improvement. I used Sachs shocks (m sport).

I have KYB AGX in the front and then just Bilsteins in the rear with Steeda lowering springs. I got a crazy discount on the KYBs so that’s why I went with them lol. Feels great though

The only major expensive maintenance I have had to do on my 04 prerunner was rebuilding the whole suspension at around 225k miles. The leaf springs were toast and the front end was starting to get there. I did everything myself and it wasn’t to crazy price wise, maybe $1200.

You're lucky if those shocks reach a year or two before they need replacing.

Used to have some on my old Ram. Fairly decent middle of the road option for shocks and they do well with normal commuting.

i replaced mine for KYB 2 months ago and it was awful.

Now, for the shocks, one was fine. It looked dirty but didn’t look used. The second one however, wasn’t even the part that I ordered. For reference, I ordered (2) ###612. I only got one of those, and got one beat up used garbage ###613. Like, it was so obvious it was used. It was dirty as hell, the shock leaking oil all over, and the thread on the bottom was literally cracked/chipped off and messed up. So I kept the right shock, returned the other one I got a refund for it and just bought a brand new shock instead.
