The shock absorbers are perfect for my 2011 Mazda 3 hatchback.

The shock absorbers fit my 2011 Mazda 3 Hatchback perfectly and the installation was very easy. Three screws and you're done. The ride is the same as OEM parts.

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Suitable for Mazda 3 disi iStop

Great shock for the price. That monotony is necessary for the Mazda 3 to offer OEM or better handling. I highly recommend purchasing KYP brackets and fenders to ensure a seamless installation.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • The list is long.

It's supposed to be a direct replacement, but it's not.

Said to be a direct replacement but it does not have the rubber grommets on either side of the lower bracket that the original had and as shown in the photos. No problem in my application (Mazda 3 10) but maybe in others. Overall it works and solved my problem with worn shock absorbers.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Failed twice in less than a year

About 120,000 miles later I noticed that one of my original shock absorbers on my 2010 Mazda 3 was leaking. Great price for KYB so I'll try them. I've used KYB products before and got lucky, so I expected them to work well. I installed them and didn't really notice a difference in handling, but maybe the shock of the original version wasn't that bad. After about a year or about 20,000 miles after installation, the ride went very bad very quickly. I used the KYB lifetime warranty and ordered two

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
