I put KYBs on with my lowering kit (all 4 corners). So far, so good.

I put kyb excel g made in japan on the rear but i had to ground down the top ear on the shock were the bolt goes thur ,seems longer and will not fit in the shock mount area at the top..monroes are shorter and fit right...other then that great rear shock

I tried but i think the mounts on the body were probably squeeze in from using a impact gun before hand when tightening the bolt because the metal is not strong just my guess.....
