Belinda,
I've got KYB rear shocks on my PV, and I would say that they are definitely too harsh for this car. That's not to say that there is anything wrong with KYBs - just that, in my opinion, the PV is not the right application for them. I check the shock mounts in the trunk regularly to see if the shocks have punched through yet. I have them on my 142, and on the heavier car they seem to work much better. At first I had the impression that they were a bit too firm and abrupt, but after I put Bilstein HDs on my 245, they seem to have smoothed out considerably. ;-)
