Good points. I just got rid of the PO’s set of KYB shocks on my 300d. They didn’t leak. They passed the bumper bounce test. The car just didn’t recover that well from snappy turns and bumps. I always hated the KYB shocks on my SD. That car didn’t pass the bumper test.

Anyhow I was feeling flush with cash and ordered front and back Comfort Bilsteins. The car handles properly now.
