I can't believe I put off replacing my shocks until one failed, but what a difference new shocks make! The stock KYB's were great, I'd have never touched them if the drivers side front shock had not sprung a leak @ 37215 miles. Just replaced the fronts today, now the rears feel like crap by comparison, so they'll get done next weekend. Braking, cornering, and feel have all improoved. This is a DIY project you should not put off, replace your shocks, your VX will feel like new.

BTW, if anybody want's my old shocks 3 are still good and one makes a interesting conversation piece. I still have my OEM sway bar bushings as well, so if you are local and need spares or out of state and don't mind paying for the shipping they are yours.
