That's a big Negative!
The KYB's are not even as good as the stock SVT (or 95-97 SE) struts.
They are basically a standard replacement style/valved strut (I.E. OEM normal 98+ Contour) They are not a performance strut.
Also for that matter I had a set on the wife's last car (Cavalier) and they were a major disappointment even for a stock replacement!
