Chose these KYB shocks to replace the originals in my '97 Cougar 30th Anniversary Edition, mostly because my experience with them in the past has been that KYB is a "sporty" shock.Being that my '97 Cougar came with the Sport option, I figured these would be a good replacement. Not. They are noticeably softer than the 16 year-old originals. When I replace all the bushings in the independent rear suspension, which will be in the next few months, I will be looking for either real original "sport" shocks, or some other aftermarket brand.These will go on the shelf to be used "just in case" ...

I've driven the car for about 500 miles after install.I've noticed these shocks dont like hot weather.. As the temp nears 100, rough pavement tends to greatly degrade performance and you feel every little pavement fault. I put this down to foaming, which is either cheap shock fluid or loss of gas, but when cool, seem to work well again even on the same roads.Note this is only happening on back shocks. The Monroes on the front with 25 KMiles seem fine.A good basic replacement, I suppose.
