GE8: shocks - Koni STR-T, KYB or something else?

Hello All,

Anyone have any good experiences with replacement shocks? In my opinion, the Fit rides ROUGH. Want to improve ride and get better handling. Don't want the expense of coil overs unless there are some really good riding and handling ones for dirt cheap (not holding my breath for that). Considering the above shocks. What has been your experience with your replacement shocks? Who has the best prices?

Best regards,
Yo

I think you haven't gotten much response because you are asking a question that has already been discussed extensively and has quick a few threads already. Do a google search.

Shocks

Replaced front and back shocks two weeks ago. The potholes in the roads locally, destroyed the originals. Up graded to Bilsteins, took weeks to arrive from Germany. Well worth the wait. Transformed the ride, steering, even braking.
