KYB or Gabriel shock absorbers

[greatgentleman]

front tociko japanese units for 7500... taiwanese for 4500

where did you got those prices? kindly name the shops.

I got following rates from plaza,

Tokico Shocks Oil based (Japan):- 8000/=
BDL Shocks Oil based (Malaysia):- 6000/=
evzone? Oil Based (Thailand):- 5000/=

which one do you guy's recommend.
Brain says japan, pocket says repair or thailand

[onlyfaith]

I recently changed front struts of my Baleno.
After a long research of the market I went for gabriel. As KYB was having "Made in Japan" stamp at different places in different shops which was doubtful.

And yes I am feeling 500% better comfort. I don't know how long will they last.
I bought front pair for Rs. 7850

brother are these Gabriel gas filled or oil filled..

[nfssaad]

tokiko units were from paramount autos, an old uncle named jawaid bhai owns it.. i bought my charades rear shocks kyb for 2500 from him.
bough japanese axels HD for 4500, taiwanese ball joints forgot the price.

tociko is best in world

i want to buy for jeep wrangler tj, what does it cost...

[bradpit]

Brother it would be in excess of 35K for front ones some really heavy duty shocks last for ages.

[huracan99]

front shocks are pretty expensive than rear one (charade)

I drive a Honda City 2005...I've researched a lot about this I haven't roamed around that much in the city...I hope u might have an idea...where can I get Eibach springs here in Karachi? :\ I hope your aware of this brand its a German brand...moreover the brands you guys are talking about...IiiII Have no idea.. really

My shocks+springs are good so far but I'm planning to change them so that my ride drops a little and I get a smoother ride aswell

Eibach, Monroe, Bilstein like asking for a 911 Turbo in Pakistan.

75% of the cars older than 5 years here are on junkyard shocks or suspension parts.

I once had a set of genuine Eibach springs for an old Accord 3rd gen. They cost Rs 16,000/- in the late 90s - You can imagine the prices now. No doubt you can get them but you would have to pay dearly.

l0l yea true...Well I mailed Eibach and they sent me some of the closest Dealers to PAK, the nearest was Bahrain, I mailed this guy and he's selling Eibach Pro Kit for around 90 B.D that's around 25,000 R.S...I wouldn't mind paying that much cuz these babys are SICK!! :* and are worth every penny...but the masla here is of shipping...the shipping cost= 2 set of Eibach Pro Kit l0l ...thats the whole problem

Anyhow...back to Pakistan ...which Shocks+Springs would you guys recommend?? keeping in mind the bumpy+rough roads here

Ahan...okey so where can I get them and you have an idea about the price? and have you seen anyone riding with them ?

[Xulfiqar]

with eibach ground control springs and bilstein shocks along with urethane bushings and summer performance tyres - expect a permanent massage from your car - it will also break into pieces from the high frequency vibration.

Brother KYB gas shocks Front 15K rear 9K made in japan EXCEL-G Front Right Part No. 333474 Front Left Part No. 333475 Rear Part No. 343487

Now here comes the interesting part you cannot find any imported spring brand new except from some company BDL really hard springs for CNG.

The only option you have to order from Honda Dealership OEM Thailand springs 16K front and 6K rear including sales tax.

[basic]

Using KYB original ones in my corolla 2003 from the last 5 years,
still going good.
changed all 4 of them

I just replaced my 93 JDM corolla shocks (front and rear) with KYB Gas..6800 each pair from Kyani Autos RWP

However I do not see the results brand new shocks should bring. The ride still goes harsh over bumps. When it touches a speed breaker, it HITS rather than rolling up and then literally FALLS down instead of rolling down...than 10 KMPH. Also, when turning the car to a side, the car dips alot to the opposite side. The harshness over bumps is worse for rear tyres.

Any idea? Springs? Strut bushes/ strut foundations??

Thanks in advance!

You Can Get KYB And Tokiko Both From Plaza...There's Shop For TOKIKO On Back Side Of Magazine Line....! They Deal Specially In Tokiko...

No Idea Of Price...Will Be Around 12-14k More Or Less For Pair
