My coach currently has a set of Bilsteins, installed by the previous owner (tires are Michelin LTX on alcoa wheels). I notice that the ride over long undulating road irregularities is acceptably comfortable, but short & sharp bumps/holes/etc are a bit sharp and harsh. I don't recall this degree of harshness in other GMCs I've ridden in.
So, I'm wondering if KYB shocks might have better damping rates for more comfortable ride. Does anyone have any experience directly comparing ride quality/characteristics between KYB and Bilstein? I don't want to install a new set of shocks if the difference is negligible.
Thanks,
Pete.
