KYB Shocks?

Postby tommo86 on Fri May 02, 2008 5:06 pm

Ive never heard of them till the other day just wanted to know what people think of them? Are they budget shocks or quite decent ones?

Cheers

i fitted a full set a KYB shocks on the old vaux ashtray cabby a few months ago. no complaints at all. rides the bumps really well :) these where standard ride height shox and springs though so i cant speak for lowered or uprated shoxs :wink:

If you order AVO non adjustable shocks from Demon Tweeks they send you KYB, I had Spax on mine before and I'm thinking about going back to the Spax as the KYB are clearly not set up right for the RS1800, the front end is to bouncy unless on perfect road condition, they could do with better poundage springs.
