cheap and good,
of course there are better ones out there but for that price, it's a really good shock.

You the KYB have their own strut housing in that sense. You just need to reuse the plastic sleeve (that protect the shock piston)and the strut top hats (triangular rubber). The KYBs are not shock inserts ...
