I just put them in this weekend. Granted I have not drove much since I did it... But they are great. I did the fronts too.

Sumitt had the best buy for them and I got them in two days.

Re: kyb shocks???

General question...

What setting is everyone using on the shocks and struts?

I used 5 for the shocks
and 2 for the struts.

Love those KYB's I use 4- Rear and 2- front with eibach pros. Best money spent so far on the cars (I have three F-bodies) so you know I'm convinced if I bought them 2 more times!!

Re: kyb shocks???

What is the best setting if I just want a smooth ride. I am not looking for nose bleeding stiffness.
