KYB Shocks

[mikeyinokc]

First of all, I recently bought a 2000 Expedition. It has 64,000 on it and I need to replace the shocks.

I have read here about the Bilstein brand. The shop I go to can't get the Bilstein but can get and of course recommends the KYB brand instead. I have looked KYB up and read a bit about them.

Anyone here have any experience with the KYB's? Good or bad I'd like to hear it.

Thanks, Mike

From the reviews that I have read they are pretty good, and the price puts them in line with the the most basic Monroe or KYB shocks, and I know they will be better than that.

i have KYBs on my '98..i really like them even on the roughest road they keep the ride nice well giving good handling and feedback. mine have about 40k miles on them now and i'll go for another set when they are ready to be replaced.
