Alternatives to KYB?

BigBlockMopar said
I was running KYB's on the front with 0.87 bars and now still with 1" bars.
The must profound change in ride-quality was exchanging the poly UCA's with rubber Moog Offset bushings. This alone took away 70% of the harshness at potholes and large speedbumps.

I have ordered a pair of Hotchkis Adjustable shocks for the front, but I'm really hoping they will provide a '4 bills' upgrade to the car compared to the KYB's... But to be honest, I still have my doubts.

You won't be disappointed with the Hotchkis adjustables. The KYB's are even more awful than you think. I swapped from KYB's to Bilstein RCD's on my Challenger, the difference is night and day. Even changing from the Bilsteins to Hotchkis (fox) non-adjustable shocks on my Duster was noticeable. If you noticed changing from poly UCA bushings to rubber, the KYB to Hotchkis shock change will be like buying a new car.
