IME, none recent, KYB have not been of the same quality level as Bilstein, Koni, or Boge/Sachs.
My last KYB experience was with a pair of adjustable struts, lifetime guarantee. After a couple of years one started leaking, KYB replaced them both without a quibble. A couple of years later, one failed again. By then KYB had discontinued the 4 position adjustable model, so they gave me a cheaper set of nonadjustable Gas-A-Just struts and informed me my lifetime warranty was over, don't come back asking for another set. So, I never went back to KYB.
