Thank you all for your answers. I had the chance to drive a friend's similar Yeti (same model and same 205/55/16 Continental Premium Contact 6 tires) who had recently replaced his shocks with new, original ones. His car was stiffer in turns and felt more controllable on bumps. I visited an authorized Skoda service where they told me that these KYB's are not suitable for this car due to it's weight. It's either the original ones (monotubes) or Sachs (twin tubes) for this car. Has anyone had similar experience, I mean has anyone changed the stock ones for aftermarket? If yes, was the experience better or worse?

Me too... Maybe I have to check the springs. They've done several km's with the bad shocks.

Good evening! I own a 2014 1.6 TDI Yeti. I had all original shock absorbers replaced at 121000 km (current odometer reading 122500 km) with KYB Excel G's. Although the ride was improved, I find them not as stiff as the original ones, resulting in more leaning while turning and I don't get enough information from the road. In other words I think they're too soft for this car. I could go for the original ones but they cost more than Billstein's B6! Has anyone had any experience with aftermarket shocks for this car? I like the ride to be firm with minimal leaning but not in the sport region. Thank you in advance for any help!
