Waste of money in my review

After I put it to the test, it failed miserably. The ride was rough and bouncy, and the noise it made was unbearable. None.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Terrible performance and noise.

I would not recommend this dampener

The price of this dampener is low and you get what you pay for. I installed this shock absorber on my VW Jetta. Only driven about 50,000 km before they had to be replaced. I don't think I will buy them again.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I have no complaints about it, everything is fine

Large economical shock absorber

Excellent economical shock absorber. Only received 3 stars due to the lack of mounting hardware in the KYB packaging which appears to have been previously opened as evidenced by the torn valve. It would have been nice to have one so we could get the job done on the same day, but Revain sent another the same day I reported the absence so everything worked out fine in the end.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive
