I wonder why people say KYB's are so bad. I installed a set on a '75 230 (115 chassis) and after getting used to the bouce they have (they don't call them Keep You Bouncin' for nuthin!) I sorta liked them. Until I noticed they were leaking oil, less than 3 years later. I won't recommend them anymore for that reason, but they actually feel sporty and if its not a car you plan on keeping a long time maybe worth the savings, unless those $50 Bilsteins that someone said Adsit is selling are legit, if I had been offered Bilsteins at that price years back I would have snatched them up!
