So I'm looking into getting new suspension and just wondering if these kyb struts from ebay would be any good? Are they legit kyb? And would I need anything else if I got these or is this everything I need?

What size wheels and tires are you on? That will affect ride quality as well.

When you go over dips or bumps at higher speeds on the freeway, does you car seem to continue bouncing more than just the once?
