KYB Shock Absorbers availability

Why is the market out of KYB shock absorbers? I am specifically looking for Axio 2007 shock absorbers but everyone seems to have the variant which will fit fine in Axio 2007 but they are not meant for it i.e. they are Rough Road package and so are not soft. Front set: KYB 333455 KYB 333456 Rear set: KYB 341420 Agriauto compatible are available but again, they won't be soft. Specifically looking in Rawalpindi/Peshawar with no luck. I have also searched the import database and it looks like…

Get the rough road package if you want to retain your car's ride quality, they are meant for PKDM Corolla.

Yes yes and yes. Used them for 100k kms. Grip is far better when it comes to kyb. Install kyb only at front and keep agri at rear, kyb are a bit hard and they become super stiff when you install them at rear. Only drawback is that an oiled shock is quite clear when its leak but in case of kyb it won't show any sign of leakage and would start to produce high speed vibration only. It took me months to diagnose a bad shock, and that too at a loss of one tyre.

My cousin replaced genuine shocks with kyb and all beauty of traditional suspension of corolla which is so soft withered away. Now the car takes no jumps rather it seems u r sitting on flat wood/phatta . Grip wise better but agriatta shocks are adjusted for pkdm roads.

in simple laymans terms
Agri are spongy
KYB stiff
