    I removed KYBs from my E28 and installed Bilstein HDs. I'd highly recommend them over the KYBs. The HDs offered a great ride (firm, connected) without being so stiff that they were uncomfortable.

    Enjoy!

    Too late now. The KYB's are bought. I'm sure they'll be better than what's on the car now. I have no idea if they've ever been replaced at 211,000 miles...

    Default You'll be perfectly happy with the Kyb's. I 've installed

    many many sets of kyb's in various customers cars and haven't had any complaints about them. On the other hand i have had complaints about the bilsteins being too stiff.
