hey pple,

just wondering if anyone has KYB shock absorbers in their car? Trying to get some opinions on how hard/soft watever they are.

atm rear of my DR30 has KYB Super Special externally adjustables that it came with, but theyre stuffed, as in one is on setting 4 and is on setting 1, and the one on setting 1 is still slightly harder than the one on 4. lol theyre gas ones and cant be repaired apparently so its bin time for them and some newies to go in,.

but susp places here in perth ive rang around say they cant get the Super Specials again as theyd be overly expensive. They even cant get the KYB AGX externally adjustables either, coz they arent made for R30 series.

so basically its regular KYB im looking at. i rang the 2 WA main suppliers of KYB, and also a third shop stocking them. i got told

a) theyre pretty soft, not really soft, but pretty supple, not sport valved or anything

B) theyre not hard, not soft, but firm, definately firm

c) our supplier tells us they are quite soft but from out experience theyre firm, and as such we havent sold many coz most people find them too hard

so basically im just trying to get some real life answers from people regarding these regular KYB shocks ! the SuperSpecials atm are very bouncey, wat with one not really working and the other on its softest setting haha i dont want knew ones to be the same!!

cheers for ne feedback dudes. :D

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
