I just installed KYBs in conjuction with changing the top strut mounts.
It was a mistake. The OEM shocks are mounted using a brass nut that is intergral with the shock - the shock is suspended in the strut tube. The KYBs are mounted by resting on the bottom of the tube and tightened with a nut on top. This give two metal to metal contact points and increases road rumble. The shocks are OK for city driving (I work in Miami), but awful for highway (noise). If I had to do it again, I would use OEM or shock which duplicates OEM mounting.
