General opinion on KYB Gas-a-Just shocks
They're alright. Kind of on the stiffer side. They don't last as long as other brands either. I'd probably only put them on a vehicle I'm not keeping long.

KYB as OEM replacement in the Philippines
KYB is a Japanese brand, so it's a bit more expensive than other brands like Tokyo or KYB Excel-G (which is their lower line). But it's good quality. If you want stock or near stock ride, go KYB Excel-G. If you want a slight performance upgrade, go KYB New SR Special or KYB Gas-a-Just.

Shock brand recommendations on RockAuto
KYB is a major OEM supplier. Their Excel-G line is often used as OE replacement. Gas-a-Just is their performance monotube line. Many prefer Bilstein for performance, but KYB is solid for the price.

KYB shock length issue on Lexus IS300
I bought new rear KYB shocks for my IS300 and they seem too long. They won't compress enough to install without lowering the control arm, which seems weird. Others said KYB Gas-a-Just are always like that, you have to compress them with a jack.

Cheap vs expensive shock brands discussion
KYB are good mid-range. Sachs are better. Bilstein are top tier. You get what you pay for. Don't expect KYB to last as long as Bilstein but they're fine for most cars.
