Anyone have experience with KYB struts? People on the RWD board seem to like them.

Does such a product exist to replace 850 struts? A shop told me recently they can obtain them. Maybe they were mistaken and thinking about the rears??

    I don't recall KYB making struts for the 850, but Bilstein touring are a fine alternative to the Sachs/Boge OEM:

    Replace front and rear at the same time, you will be glad you did. If you buy a good spring compressor, it is a fairly easy DIY except for the alignment. Get new spring seats!
