KYB gas shocks

[Not Avg 6]

For anyone interested, I received a mailer today with a special holiday pricing on KYB's, starting as low as $14.95 per shock, or $67.80 for a set of four. From Year One (1-800-year-one) sale ends 12/31/02. FYI

That is an excellent price considering I paid 109.00 for 4 of them 3 years ago. All around good shocks for the price.

How do they ride compared to the blisteins??

 

[dhauser]

I have these on my car, and while I can't compare them to bilsteins, the KYBs are very competent shocks. Nice and firm, with a little forgiving side. I'm pleased.

Which model? Gas-a-just or the GR2 that I see? Thanks, Drew

 

[Sisaro]

now the thing is my mom will be driving this car too but i want to take it out in road race with it.

I have the KYB gas adjusts on my car. Nothing to compare them too, but I've got no complaints either. I think I paid about $120-130 for the set about 2 years ago.

If that price is for gas-a-justs its a hell of a deal. I've put those on 4 different g bodies I've had and they ride and handle great.

 

[Sisaro]

well if those are gas adjust i would like a set.

I have the Gas-A-Justs and am very happy. They ride firm but not rough.

 

[Sisaro]

quick question qwikv6 how much hp at the wheels are you putting down and at how much boost??

And what your A/R size??

 

[Sisaro]

i take it they dont make KYB AGX's for our cars.......that sucks

You've GOT to be kidding, right? I'm just gonna start calling you "Feathers." Cuz you're like an ostrich with his head in the sand.....

Only Chuck and Upchuck from ChevPower TV haven't heard of Year One.... They're too busy pimpin' everyone else's crud....

 

[Drew L]

Doug, I'm just to busy. You know, work and all. Honestly, I have never heard of Year One. Yes I might have head in the sand but sometimes thats good Now, back to the Gas-a-just or the GR2 models. Which ones do we use???????????? Drew

 

[dhauser]

Gas-A-Just are all you need.

J/K on the ostrich thing, Feathers. I know you're a busy guy and all at the Firehouse.

I found the low price is for the gr model not the gas adjust. KYB has little to no info on these shocks at their website. I suspect that they are a Low pressure shock- not the high pressure of the GASADJUST model (I have an old set of these and they are still good). I would not buy the GR model cause I had some low pressure gas shocks and they are no better than stock.
