R mint! Compared to my Konis they give a firm but smoother ride and make u feel more in control of the car IMO.

Thoughts & experiance welcome...

I'm well pleased with my KYB's

Using Eibach springs [ERRR] em and a front strut brace, not fitted rear brace yet :-?

What Konis did ya have ?

I had a Spax sport kit B4 but it was way too hard/harsh and also lowered it unevenly, levels were all over the place :aaah:

Just the usual Koni Sport shocks. Too hard for every day use but KYBs seem just as firm on the bends only smoother over imperfections in the road.

I think im gonna keep my rear Konis & put KYBs on the front. What d ya think?

My Adjustable Koni's are superb, using Chassis Dynamic Springs.

I've also got KYB shocks and Eibach springs and I can't fault them. The problem is,things like ride quality and handling are very subjective,so what may be one man's firm ride could be another man's boneshaking teeth removing ride.

I say if you are happy with them thats all that matters :wink:

KYB's rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got adjustable konis with eibach springs on the current car and I love it.

Had kyb on my first fiesta along with boge / sachs -40mm springs. Ride was bloody awful with 15's on but with steels on was a right laugh cause it was so firm. The si I had had std ford shocks with -35mm springs on (cant remember what make) and it wasnt as firm as the kyb/sachs setup but it was a less tiring drive. I think the setup i got now is about right for this car tho.

KYBs get tired very quickly and any drop lower than -40mm will destroy them very quickly.

Mine are shot; when new and for the first 6 months, they were a dream.

That said, I only paid £150 for the whole set (minus springs) so can't complain

by **andymac** on Thu Jul 31, 2003 12:45 pm

140 inc springs and vat from a local place for mine.

by **MIK3Y** on Wed Sep 03, 2003 11:49 am

My front Konis hav gone so it's having some KaYaBa shocks fitted today.

by **gambo_si** on Wed Sep 03, 2003 5:10 pm

how much would it cost for kyb front shocks to go wth my -60mm drop on pi springs

cheers

give KYB a ring 01925 417444 to find out your nearest motor factor that stocks em

The part numbers you want are Front: 333823 and Rear: 341802

My fronts cost about £26 each

by **gambo_si** on Wed Sep 03, 2003 11:44 pm

cheers for information

Maff Si :The part numbers you want are Front: 333823 and Rear: 341802

What the long haired poof forgot to mention is those are mk3.5 part numbers, will be different numbers for mk3

I rate Maffs KYB/Eibach set up over my GMAX :oooh:

KYB seams to have alot less bounce when hacking down country lanes and round corners :wink:

which gives you more control and comfort as your not being chucked all over the place like with my GMAX :rolleyes:

I will be stealing his suspension, strutbraces, and Imolas next time his back is turned
