Fairly easy to install

I've done these on other cars that were a little stiffer but were pretty easy to install in the front of my '69 Mustang. They didn't even have straps holding them together and I was able to compress them if needed.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Terrible Support

Installed this shock and one of the bolts broke. Called KYB they said they would go to a reseller for warranty repair, none of them endorse this product, were told to buy another from KYB. All I needed was a screw. I wouldn't buy anything from KYB.

Pros
  • Trial year
Cons
  • Negative present

Best Ride Ever 70' Mustang

Shock absorbers arrived on time with all the necessary parts and information. Now the old car was a bit of a problem, but this old spike never rolled so smoothly. I will always try to get a quality product if it is difficult or expensive to install. We love the new KYBs! Do not cut the packing tape immediately before installation.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Updates

Difficult to see.: Shock absorber

Well they fit well, better after taking the coils off an inch I honestly don't know what it was. I got these shocks with 1" lower Eibach springs which should have been fine but they were almost completely over stretched. I ended up taking an inch off and they fit perfectly. So I have no idea. Times better than the limp Gabriel I pulled out so for sure 4*.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
