Shock absorbers KYB or Sachs

KYB Shock absorbers

Usually change the whole set since the labor cost is already there to open the whole part. Shocks can get OE parts from KYB.

Pros: OE parts from KYB

We also have really bad roads. Stock ride height and stock shock absorbers work very good. The factory specification is oil in the front and gas in the rear. We usually use Sachs on our cars.

Pros: work very good

I just put a full set of the kyb shocks into my vy ss. But they seem pretty good. Can't fault them.

Pros: seem pretty good, no faults

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.

Pros: softer ride, smooth predictable

Make sure the shocks you buy ars KYB. These cars are heavy and have a tendency to eat cheap shocks.

Pros: Good for heavy cars
Cons: Cheap shocks wear fast
Vehicle: Ford

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.

Pros: work well, not bad
Cons: not amazing

Sachs Shock absorbers

cuando compré mi 330i tenía el amortiguador trasero del lado del conductor cagado. Más allá de que acá te matan con el precio de cazoletas y amortiguadores (hablamos de OE, o sea Sachs, etc.) no se consiguen los guardapolvos ni los topes superiores.

Cons: no se consiguen guardapolvos
Vehicle: BMW

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.

Cons: short lifespan, bouncy ride
Vehicle: Toyota
Mileage: 59546 km
