I had the KYB gas shocks and the ride was awful. The roads around here are pretty rough in general, and we live a couple miles up a bumpy dirt road, and the KYB's are just plain "beat your kidneys" harsh. They made everything in the van rattle like hell, including my teeth. I could deal with *some* harshness if they would provide something inspiring in the handling department, but on good road they were unimpressive, and on bad road they just beat the van and it's passengers to a pulp. Nossir, didn't like 'em a bit....
