Tom,
The previous owner had installed the KYB's on the car. I know they are a quality shock and are widely used. The downside is, they are not recommended with the lower springs because don't like being compressed that much during normal driving. They were on the car with the original suspension and I have since completely redone the whole thing, IPD sway bars, upper & lower ball joints, bushings and as mentioned shocks and springs so I can't really give you an honest comparison. If it had not been recomended that I change the shocks I am sure I would have saved the $$ and kept the KYB units on. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Allen
