DECENT
I HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES WITH KYBs. I HAD THEM ON BOTH THE 944 AND 914 AND THEY HAVE PERFORMED WELL. I DONT BELEIVE YOU CAN BEAT THESE SHOCKS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE. I THINK THEY ALSO COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY.

On my 83, the fronts are starting to let go, but then agian I took a huge lick. The rear shocks seem to be just fine. Lifetime warranty, I hope they honor. No taddlers please!

I've had numerous KYBs, from the gasadjust to the sport and some others. All on 944s, and I think they suck, really bad. If you drive hard, or on not so perfect roads, stay away. They perform descent for a few 1000 miles, but not much longer. My best friend had them on his 944 before he got a 300zx tt (died in a car accident a few weeks ago), they leaked externally within the first two weeks. They are cheap, but I'd suggest not to save money on shocks.
