Review on πŸš— Enhance Performance and Comfort with KYB 344088 Excel-G Gas Shock by David West

Revainrating 2 out of 5

HOW A SCHOOL BUS IS TOO STRONG AND DANGEROUS

Too bouncy my stick height XJ feels like a school bus now if I hadn't bought them for $20 and threw away the old ones I would have reinstalled them Gabriel. The old shocks weren't that bad, but I figured that along with the new coil spring bushings would reduce the squeak. My steering wheel used to be sloppy like most XJs, but after this setup I had to buy a redesigned steering box (twice, they all obviously suck) or I couldn't drive on the freeway because of the heavy wandering on the damn stock XJ. Unacceptable. Very disappointed with KYB. I used to love their products. I've just bought a new car and apparently kyb is the only manufacturer of shock absorbers and I'm very reluctant to buy a kit even though I need them. They are also much more expensive. boo
