I have them on my '89 Westy, my '78 Crew Cab, and my '76 Fiat Spider. Before
that I had them on my '76 Westy and my '85 Westy.  In all the years I've
used KYB's  I've always been satisfied with them, and feel comfortable
recommending them. They're a bit stiffer than the OEM Boges, but they handle
a bit better (particularly when it comes to cornering), cost a third as
much, and carry a lifetime warranty.  I've only had three customers ever
need to take advantage of that warranty, and that's out of maybe a couple of
sets sold every single day.  The only shocks I like better are the
Bilsteins, which seem to combine the best attributes of both the KYB's and
the Boges. If the price had been the same I'd have bought the Bilsteins in a
heartbeat, but for the difference (nearly fourfold) I "settled" for the
KYB's, and for the price (around $100 for a set of four) I'm quite
satisfied.  I would say that they are an excellent value, even if admittedly
not the absolute best shock yoy can buy. Of course, I also sell the Boges
and Bilsteins, so as always it's your money, your van, and your choice...
