Has anybody used kyb shocks in the coily?

When i bought my coily it had kyb in it but the were a little past their use by date. So i never had a chance to test them.

But when i swapped them for the ultima "long travel" shocks the diffs actualy came up over an inch.

I need new shocks so should i go ultima or kyb??

well when i jacked it up to change the shocks, i chaged them one side at a time, i didnt change the springs as it already had the king springs and it was hanging lower with the kybs.

Does that not represent more downward travel???

I am sorta new to this.
