KA or KG KYB's?	Mon, 20 October 2003 00:32

looking through the KYB catalogue, and it seems KA nd KG shocks are both pimped as their top of the line. KA is labelled as ultimate driver performance", KG has a list of benefits longer than my arm. the KAs are 3-stage double action the KGs are gas shocks. any ideas on which is better? by better, I of course mean better handling [Report message to a moderator]

paul - go to north parra auto one theyll set you up with a pair VERY cheaply - $50 cheaper than anywhere else I could find, and $70 cheaper than most ($100 cheaper than 1 place) of course, once I found them this cheap I stopped looking I had a question for you, but I cant for the life of me remember what it was edit: that's right. what brake pads are you using, and are they good & low dust? I'm really happy with my current ones in performance terms, but theyre REALLY dusty, and its very frustrating trying to keep the rims clean [Updated on: Tue, 21 October 2003 12:57] [Report message to a moderator]

try keep your rims clean when you park in a dirt lot....damn thing sings to me as i'm pulling out "we need to see your tyres spin untill the rear end flicks out uncontrollably" ....i'm not one to shut out the car voice in my head actually, its not just the rims that get muddy\dusty....whole car was once pretty, covered in red mud from half way up my windows down to the rubber took me AGES to wash her after that anyways back to the point what kind of difference would KA\KG kyb's make over the shitty munro's i've got now?

Ive just ordered kyb shocks for my ae86 I did heaps of research on these shocks, heaps of shopping around and thats what i strongly reccomend.i started at a price of 900 for kyb shocks and lovell springs and i ended up with nearly half that price.im getting 36 series KYB shock on the front and KG series on the rear.KG is a harder shock then the 36 series.I really dont know much about the KA series as they dont make them for the AE86. KA Series? An oil shock KG series? An Mono gas shock KC series? An oil strut cartrige 330000? An oil leg assy 340000? An Twin Tube Gas Leg assy 360000? An Twin Tube Gas cartrige I know these shocks arnt the best but they are better than 20yr old standard shocks.Once i install them i'll let you guys know how they are.
