I'm in the market for some new shocks. I'm looking @ KYB Gas shocks. I only know 2 kinds of shocks, KYB's & Tokico's. Are there any other good brands out there?


--------------------
1998 Toyota Celica GT
2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi
2007 Toyota Tacoma 4x4
1974 Datsun 260Z
1997 Subaru Legacy L Wagon

Kind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area. I'm always down for a meet.

The shocks, or shock dampeners, control the movement of the car and the springs -- they smooth the ride and keep the tires on the ground. Springs are what your car actually rides on -- sort of floats on top of the springs. The shocks keep the springs from responding too violently to the road, which is why you need to match the responsiveness of the shocks to the strength of the springs.
