i always hear awful stuff about the KYBs. i always recommend konis. i have em in my car, the build quality is amazing and they make the car handle and ride like a sports car. never had any person experience with the KYBs but they dont seem to have many happy customers

The KYBs in my GTP were good for about 4 years. Now they seem to be a bit "off". The rattling is probably a worn strut mount or something like that.

KYB is crap, the Monroe OE replacement is better...from my experience selling them, I rarely ever had a satisfied customer with them
