KYB v. OEM (Mitsubishi)

Looking for opinions on KYB versus OEM Mitsubishi rear shocks/struts.
Thanks,
Steve

Gas-a-justs might be okay but GR2s sucked on everything I put them on.

Thanks. That is what I was trying to find out. A hundred years ago (so it seems) when I had my service station, the KYBs were hot in comparison to everything short of Bilstiens/Konis. However, you made me think they were probably the Gas-adjusts we were selling/installing.
Thanks again.
Steve

I will never buy another KYB. I put them on my VW bus and a friends Nissan. The ones on the bus were worthless in less than a year. Didn't have the guts to ask friend how her car was doing. I buy Bilsteins and nothing else. Heck, you can get them at AutoZoo for a decent price.
