Hi guys, ive got the funds to do my suspension right now, and i had previously got a quote for KYB shocks and Whiteline Control springs from whiteline, EXCEPT! i just rang them and they no longer sell the KYBS!??! and only do koni, which are double the price  . I dont particularly want to get konis, but at the same time dont want to get monroe or peddars. Does anyone know what happened to KYB? or alternative brands simliar to kyb that i should try?

spoke to the distributor earlier this year- they do not import aw11 or sw20 shocks any more.
koni or monroe are 2 names that come to mind that still do them

and the kybs when i got quoted a while back were 180 front and 180 rear... so its a pretty big difference in price.

monroe are at the bottom end of the food chain, but if you don't want to pay for koni's!.. (remember that koni can be rebuit wheras the kyb cannot)
i'll sniff around & see what else is available
