KYB Shockies ...

[[ant]]

hey pple,

just wondering if anyone has KYB shock absorbers in their car? Trying to get some opinions on how hard/soft watever they are.

atm rear of my DR30 has KYB Super Special externally adjustables that it came with, but theyre stuffed, as in one is on setting 4 and is on setting 1, and the one on setting 1 is still slightly harder than the one on 4. lol theyre gas ones and cant be repaired apparently so its bin time for them and some newies to go in,.

but susp places here in perth ive rang around say they cant get the Super Specials again as theyd be overly expensive. They even cant get the KYB AGX externally adjustables either, coz they arent made for R30 series.

so basically its regular KYB im looking at. i rang the 2 WA main suppliers of KYB, and also a third shop stocking them. i got told

a) theyre pretty soft, not really soft, but pretty supple, not sport valved or anything

B) theyre not hard, not soft, but firm, definately firm

c) our supplier tells us they are quite soft but from out experience theyre firm, and as such we havent sold many coz most people find them too hard

so basically im just trying to get some real life answers from people regarding these regular KYB shocks ! the SuperSpecials atm are very bouncey, wat with one not really working and the other on its softest setting haha i dont want knew ones to be the same!!

cheers for ne feedback dudes.

i got them mate mine are fairly stiff i have king springs in it too.Every time i have the car sideways at what ever speed whether on power or on the brakes it is very controllable and sits very flat.The car is comfortable though not too bumpy .They are blue in colour.

Got a pair on my front, seem just as stiff as my original Sustec's.

Dont remember the colour/model sorry.
