I recently switched from KYB to Bilstein shocks. I could not believe the difference. The KYB shocks handled well but were very hard over rough roads. The Bilstein shocks handle well and provide a comfortable ride. They are worth the money !

Koni-D work best with stock to mild springs, Bilstein is just a tiny bit harsh on bump, but probably best choice for a racy suspension. Other choices are a very B grade.

I had the same experience. The KYBs rattled the fillings out of your head but the Bilsteins (the yellow ones) are comfortable but firm, handle very nicely. And I have slightly lower springs all around.
