I just bought a set of KYB gas adjust from a seller on EBAY in the States.

$238 delivered to your door, one of the best shocks i have used, about half the price of the one available in Australia.

Great price......what were you using before these ?


vwo60 - May 10th, 2012 at 08:58 PM

I have had bilstiens on three different cars, always had one bilstien leak out of the four on every set that i have had, koni's and KYB gr2's and the gas adjusts, i now have them on all my cars, i found the bilstiens far to hard and the gas a just's have the best compromise for my liking.

So they are a softer ride than the gr2's ?


vwo60 - May 10th, 2012 at 09:28 PM

They are a firmer ride that the gr2, the gr2 are only a low pressure gas shock, a basic standard replacement shock, the gas a just is a high pressure shock, i would rather have them than the bilstiens.

I have all my Bilsteins re valved to suit the car...I've never run "off the shelf" ones.

I might try a set to see what theyre like.

Cheers

There great value, on my 60 model they have been on the car four 11 years and still test good. i am removing a set of koni's from my ghia and putting these on, the koni's are to soft for my style of driving.
