They are the go-to standard replacement shocker and are beautiful with standard springs. They Ok with off-the-shelf lowering springs too, but a harder shock would be preferable.

Just make sure that the seller actually has them in stock. They have not been available from KYB UK/Europe for a couple of years now. Still stocked in the US but shipping charges are the dealbreaker there.

I have spoken to E-parts this morning and they have now checked with KYB and these shocks are no longer available, they will now remove them from their website.
SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER THEM VIA EBAY.

OK so I ordered a set of a site which sells out of Germany and all four for 140 euros, thats right sounds too good to be true!

It was.

2 days later, the email saying they are not in stock and they have no replacment will be sourced. Still looking for some that are good price and will be good for the new Super Low King Springs I will be bringing back from Aus.
