I know its most likely been asked before, but i'm gonna ask again...i'm buying struts at the end of this week because alll of mine are gone...i was thinking about kyb...can people give some feedback on these struts...like do they give a good stiff feel, and do they last? thanks

 

Maybe we should get Sprint Max to find my old post of "KYB vs. Tokico" and put it as a sticky.

I'll give you the jist of the response I got from that thread. It was 50/50 on either. No it's not going to make it extrememly stiff, but I believe it might be what you're looking for. But the one response I got from just about everyone, is keep your reciept. The seals tend to blow within 6 months to a year. But I believe it's not that expensive to get it replaced. I think you just have to pay shipping.

edit: Sry, I forgot that the seals going was mostly when used with drop springs.

Oh, and welcome to the org.

 

Yeah cause i couldnt find it...i'm not planing on lowering the car, so will the seals still go? thanks for the info and the welcome , any further info would be great..thanks

 

I have no idea if the seals will still go. Most of the people that posted had used drop springs with the struts. Keep the receipt anyways. Just in case they do go.

And the thread was a while ago. They only keep so many. It's probably dropped off into void by now.

And as for info, what else you looking for?

 

i just wanna make sure there not ****...i want a stiff car, and i know that struts alone wont do this, so i'm gonna buy a fsb a little down the line...but i hope these struts are good enough...thanks

 

can anyone offer any other info...thanks

 

Oh, you wanna have some fun on some roads I take it. Take a look at this site. http://www.mattblehm.com/

He has quite a few suspension goodies. Along with warpspeed. And if you're looking for a good stiff ride, you might want to think about Koni

 

KYB's are very good struts. Way better than stock, and I would recommend them. I only had a problem putting the rears in. A bit of the tip had to be shaved down a little. Ive recently dropped the front 2" by the way so Im hoping things will be ok till I get some springs to drop me about 1.5" cause I think 2" is too low for these struts.
