Re: Which KYB's? (1Ozzy1)
i'd go with the non adjustable KYB's , i have those on my car and really like them , was told by others with fx3 suspension , that when the fx3 died , they replaced with kyb's and loved them , couldn't tell difference when the fx3 was set on hi performance, compared to the kyb's, hope that helps you a bit.
i copy Joe not for adjustable ride fx3 cars , what i meant was if you got rid of the fx3 system when and if when it fails, then put on the kyb's

I used the Gas-a-just and like them a lot. Don't be confused though there is no adjustment on the shock and they are not for the adjustable ride equiped cars as far as I know.

I replaced my original Bilstein shocks with KYBs...... Why?
I lived in Pennsylvania at the time and the roads were some of the worst I have ever experienced. My factory original Bose Stereo/CD couldn't play through 1/2 of a song without a major pothole causing it to go into a prolonged pause mode. I thought that perhaps a softer shock might help ~ and in all honesty, it did.
Now I live in Arizona (Yeah) and have replaced the factory Bose/CD with a JVC unit. The roads are much-much better here, so I will soon replace the KYBs with another set of Bilsteins.
The KYBs have ~5K miles on them. No regrets for sure. I think I will sell them for ~$12.50 each + buyer pays shipping.
