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?

$281.60 for the kby's, & $320.00 for the install, which is nuts. Now (i don't really know much about suspension mind you) the way it was explained to me, was the shocks/struts are kyb which will replace the whole rear susp, and the shocks will replace the front ones and i'll keep my eibach springs on the front? What's the difference between shocks, struts, sways, springs (are self explanitory). Does anyone have like, a picture of an entire setup so I can tell what's what? I'm not really trying to jack my own thread, but it is along the same lines because i'm looking at susp for the celli! Thanks guys.

As soon as I finish engine rebuild, they will be gone. The didn't last for more than three months. (Could probably be cause I got them off of ebay) I am going to try out the supper street tein coilover. |
