HR/DR30 Tokico shocks

[Doctor 30]

Anyone know where I can buy these. (Shocks are too soft for driving above 100km/h)

Just ring around your local suspension shops and see what they can supply. I priced a set of KYB shocks at about $200 a pair for front + $300 a pair for the back.

yeah I got prices from Suspension city in North Melbourne for KYB's. I was really hoping for Tokico's.

I thought KYBs were a bit average, but if you've tried them and they are ok I'd like to hear back

I have KYB's in the rear of my HR31,and they seem to be quite good.

Also had KYB's in the rear of an LJ Torana many years ago,and also had no complaints.

yeah shocks seem to be a bit of bitch to find ... my car came with damper adjustable KYB shocks front and rear however 1 of the rears was dead. so i tried to find replacements of the same type (KYB Damper Adjustables) but they didnt do them for the 30. so i had to make do with some Koni Red's which are rebound adjustable only, mainly for as they wear out u can tighten the rebound i think but i turned mine a couple of timesn eway before putting them in and they seem fine after about 5 months still.

come to think of it arent R30 rear shocks the same as S13 ? so you could buy KYB Damper adjustables to suit S13 and put them in? never thought about that at the time.

koni;s were 500 a pair i think for the rears, special order n all but yeh theyre quite solid still so cant complain really !

Best easily available are Bilstein B46 0157 . These were supplied specific for the DR30 in Japan . They will be expensive at 400+ a pair BUT what good is grunt if you can't keep your wheels on the ground . For those using high rate rear springs ie 200 inch/pound (mine are 235) there is a B46 0198 which is fractionally shorter with less bump damping but more rebound damping . However Sydney Suspensions would not bring them in last time I asked . You gets what you pay for ...

I think I'll just give the KYB's a go then
