KYB comparison?

[newbtastic]

Looking for opinions on the KYB shocks. I used this brand on a hyundai accent in the past and was happy but this is a completely different beast. I have an 05 LS sport with 115000 on it. Just wondering how the KYB ride in comparison to the motorcraft. are they as stiff or are they gonna be softer? I like the stiff ride but lately its a little bouncy seems like time to replace.

I have KYB in the rear and have not noticed any difference between them and the motorcraft. My car is also lowered so its pretty stiff as is... YMMV

I have KYB's and lowering springs. The ride has always been too soft for my liking and the KYB's don't make any difference IMHO. I want to look at QA1's or something else that will stop the incessant bouncing over speed bumps no matter how slow you go.

Your experiences definitely differ from mine, but I avoid every speed bump at all costs.

Everyone seems to have different taste when it comes to ride. I have the Euro shocks in mine and seem too soft for my liking. Someday will try the Billstein route.
