Worth the price

The price was very good and arrived quickly. I installed them myself. Realizing MY mistake, they were very easy to install. Suggestions if you're installing it yourself: - Remove the wheel from the side you want to replace - Much easier - Pay attention to the top washer - the one on top of the shock - in the wheel arch - I flipped mine first and took it off the long one time to find out. But I like how the car drives now.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Extremely bad processing.

I was in shock, didn't look like normal KYB shock absorbers, the exterior paintwork was very bad and dirty. Nowhere on the shocks was KYB's brand or country of origin indicated. The box had an uneven sticker that said KYB. They fit perfectly but the finish was so poor and not up to usual KYB standards that I doubt they just weren't outsourced. If the exterior finish is so bad that I have to question the interior durability, I wouldn't buy this product again.

Pros
  • Good looking
Cons
  • Damaged

Good product. Hassle free installation.

I can't speak for all applications but when I installed them on my Buick Lesabre to replace the factory height dampers I was pleased that they worked with my factory air lines although I was concerned that they would it did. It will work. Although KYB advertises this shock as factory suspension, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they made the handling a little stiffer. They didn't! In fact, I really can't tell any difference other than no hydraulic oil leaking on the sides of the new shocksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • too blunt

Excellent dampers, easy installation.

These shock absorbers are perfect for my 2004 Bonneville. A great deal from Revain, especially when compared to OEM shocks or even your local auto parts store. Installed with no problems. Some reviews complain that they are too stiff. When I bought this car, the original shock absorbers were badly worn - one had broken in two and the other was leaking all the oil. They didn't do anything to the car. So I had no experience with stock mufflers to compare to these. But I LOVE rough riding, andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Almost everything included

For the last 9 months I have had trouble replacing the Monroe MA822 shocks. Last week another Monroe muffler failed (this was the third time in just 9 months) and started rattling and leaking fluid. I spoke to a few mechanics and they thought I would be better off with these KYBs so I decided to give them a try. I was impressed that they didn't rattle like all my Monroe shocks when new. The Monroes also seem to have been redesigned, they look brand new. They are just as easy to fit and my carโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Updates

High quality and low price! Great ride and handling - identical to OE

I have to wonder about negative reviews - whether they just have a defective shock absorber - or in the event of bumps - sounds like a loose top nut. The EXACY top bolt is the same size as the OE> - I reused the original top nut and washer. Same exact size. For those complaining about the length of the top bolt - look at your old shock - you need to take the top washer from the old shock and put the new one on. Yes - they do not come with instructions - as they are intended for professionalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • I won't say anything
