KYB are the OEM for the 3000 GT and the replacement with original struts really improved my car's (1999 SL with 130K) handling immeasurably! You will not be dissatisfied. At slow speed through town the bumps are just not as teeth rattling, but at high speed on the freeway is where I really notice the new effect. The car has tighter and much more precise steering...much more stable and safer feel to driving the car through high speed turns. The car feels much more racier and confident to drive....not overly soft, but not bouncy either. It is an excellent, solid, predictable driving experience. Great change for the better! Wish that I had done it sooner. BP
