    Other people have said, that if you can get Bilstein, KYB stands for Keep Your Bilsteins.

    1. Bilstein shocks = I heard these shocks are very comfortable and "indestructible"
    2. KYB shocks = very low price compared to the Bilstein shocks but I heard these also have a tendency to blow out very early.
    3. OEM shocks = comfortable but bouncy and more likely to get destroyed

    What do you guys think should I get if what I'm after is purely comfort? I don't plan to race anyway. Will the bilstein or KYB shocks sacrifice that much comfort compared to the OEM shocks?

    Thanks for your time guys.
    Most Japs OEM shocks naman are made by KYB, Tokico (Honda) etc. Like 'ssaloon' mentioned, kung pang daily driving lang, OK na yang KYB, 'di naman siya matagtag sa mga auto namen eh. Bilstein cost about 3x? 4x? the price of KYB, Tokico's, not a choice of mine neither!

    But it's up to you, if you have bigger pocket, then GO for Bils,. kung budgeted ka, wala ka ng prob sa KYB.
