Like the title says, my car has a shock relocation bar in it. I'm not happy with the KYB shocks that are attached to it. What shocks are you guys using?

What are the problems you are having with the KYB shocks? Most problems I've heard with this shock is that they 'fail' fairly often....?

What is it that you don't like about the shocks you now have? Are they the correct length for the application? Shocks should be around 40-60% compressed at ride height and should not bottom out before the axle hits the axle bumper.

If I was looking for a shock I think I'd consider a single or double adjustable one like those from QA-1, RideTech, Viking, or some other coilover manufacturer if they fit in your budget. They are essentially the same shock except without the threaded body for a spring. The adjustability will let you tune the suspension damping to where you like it. You'll pay a lot more for an adjustable shock.
