> You are asking a little too much out of a 550$ + springs + shipping/whatever setup. The adjustability is fine for what it is, imho, but you are right it is not ‘perfect’ or great… but your expectations are astounding for the price. Just like megan racing/ex number of taiwanese colorful coilovers, their adjustability ALSO sucks but you think they make a difference in dampening each time you try to adjust their ‘36 way’ whatever adjustments.

This statement alone proves that he doesnt have a clue what hes talking about and I say this because… I’m able to meet my “expectations” using a Monroe Shock/Strut combo vs a KYB and the Monroe setup is cheaper.

So with that fact alone (since I’ve owned and used both) the KYB should be better based on cost. Which proves, you dont always get what you pay.
