Bone Stock '03 GS4 w/ 80k. Want to upgrade the struts and maybe springs. Thinking of KYB's but not sure. I don't like too soft (boaty) or too stiff (harsh). Any suggestions ? Much appreicated.

 

KYBs if you dont want OEM soft, but just a notch stiffer. It's not a dramatic difference so dont think you're going to get some bone jarring ride.

 

KYBs should keep the on your face

 

Bilstein HD's with stock springs

 

How are Bilstein HD vs KYBs ? Which one would give you a better feeling on ride quality, curves, and going over speed bumps ?

 

If I was to get the KYBs, do i need to get the "Whole SHABANG" ?

imho, i think HDs are stiff. i drove my friend's car w/kyb's and those felt nice.

Lol. Sorry I'm new to CL. But thanks for the info.

 

Oh, that's good to know. Thanks.

 

I have the same car with 50k miles. Get the Bilstein HD and keep your stock springs. I am very happy with that set up. The float is eliminated and the ride is more confident without being harsh at all.
