JDM KYB's

Hello jerkoffs  ,
Rex has been trying to find out the heirarchy of KYB's JDM dampers. There are models such as:
- SR Special
- Climbgear
- Super Special for street/track
- Buzz-spec
Primarily seeking info on the SR Special and Climb-gear.
It would also be nice to know some specs but one cant expect the world when the scourge of motoring that is the drift mentality is teaching kiddies that suspension should be solid, second-hand and height adjustabe coilover'd or else its worthless.
Where the hell did that come from?
The Rex

I found that out when i bought them and it said it on the box. 
"they don't make ones for the corona" yes and no, look on the whiteline website and you'll see there will be one that is supra/cressida/corona these are for the RT142, etc, I ended up with dodgy fronts somehow when i ordered them (for a double wishbone setup) but the rears were exactly the same. I got them from auto one. But whiteline was gonna source Kyb shocks as a package with the springs for my corona so they do exist.
I have had no problem with mine and have had them on for about 16 months now.

Guys, I used to wonder exaclty the same thing. The 'regualr 'kyb website does not list kyb specials etc etc. Run your translators over THIS kyb website:
http://www.kybweb.com/kybes/new_pilot/html/index.h tml
Has descriptions, model #s, even pricing per model. As truenosedan says, they seem to be discontinued, but if you want to pay the $$$ there are new ones(old stock???) on yahoo japan. I recenty won some secondhand ones there. see my sig

If it helps at all, full sets of SR specials (for rwd toys like GA61 etc) are around 25,000 yen on yahoo japan; super specials around 48,000.

Big thanks lads, Especially to the Corollas of Old.
This all came about because The Rex cannot find a single listing for the AW11 in Australia outside Koni yellow adjustables which are approx $450 per end.
Whereas www.greenline.jp has the New SR Special, ClimbGear and SuperStreet's listed.
The Climbers and SR's can be bought and landed for around $700 - $750 (Assuming He gets not slogged $170 to have customs release them as with his HTS102's).
But without knowing or being able to find out the details its hard to weigh them against the Koni's.
But hang on,... After all duty shipping etc they wind up being only slightly cheaper than the Koni's, but where one is getting $900 worth of proven adjustable and rebuildable damper with the Koni's, One only gets $480 worth of seemingly unknown KYB dampers. The rest is spend on just getting them here.
He thinks he's just answerd his own question.

Rex is not saying KYB's are not good... But that answer is not good enough, Which KYB's?, Suitable for what type of road surface/driving style?, Are they better for the money?
He is sure they will be fine, but for $1000 do you want fine? No, you want the best you can get for the money.
After importing and duty for $1k one may get the bottom of the range KYB that no one can say for sure is entirely suitable or for $1k one could get a set of Adjustable (Read: Tunable) street performance dampers with a well proven record.
The S/C AW11 because of its dynamics and unforgiving nature is not the kind of car one wants to short change suspension wise.

FWIW the super specials are externally adjustable, and IIRC adjust bump AND rebound at same time. Are the Konis you are looking at externally adjustable?
