They are a direct replacement for sport suspension shocks although the damping is not exactly the same. I believe most people have reported that the kyb's are a bit/barely firmer than stock sports. I replaced my worn out green bilsteins front and rear with kyb and have been very happy with the quality, especially for the price

I had KYB on the rear of my XJ40 when I converted from SLS but left the OEM on the front.
The different damping rates annoyed me going over bridges or some other different level road surface because the front and rear oscillated to cause a rocking motion rather than a straight up/down. I ended up putting (BOGE or BILSTIEN??) on all four corners.
I would suggest keeping the same rate or brand on both front and rear. You can try the front and if it annoys you, then install the KYBs in the rear also (if they are available??)
