KYBs tend to be HARD and ride like Monroes.

Stick with Bilsteins unless you simply cannot afford them and you have totally dead shocks.

Bilsteins usually fail by starting to knock on large deflection, they very rarely go squishy. Eventually they get to riding VERY hard (from oil loss) and need to be replaced. IF they don't crash and bang, save you pennys and wait until you can afford OEM shocks.

If you have a serious bouncing problem, KYBs will be better than what you ahve, but I'd guessing you won't like them.
