RE: KYB shocks

["Perry, Chris" <perryc@wdni.com>]

I put some KYB cartriges in my 90 VW Passat and for the money, (a little
less than 40.00 USD each) I think they are excellent. They also have a
lifetime guarante ( if you remember where you put that sales receipt).  I
would rate them as very close to stock in respect to handling.  If you
wanted to go "firmer" or "sportier"  try Koni, Bilstein(sp?) or Boge. These
however will also cost more.
