Probably half the cost of Billies and at least 75% as good... at a guess. ________________________________________ SmartyMy lil toy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martincurtisphotography/sets/72157640014140786/ |

Just spoke to my mate at my local motor factors who sell the kyb range and the front shocks he said are 55 each plus vat and rears are 42 each plus vat, he also said he can't get hold of the rears yet as kyb have no stock. Is this a decent price do you think? |

Yep have tried these, good enough product with standard springs imo but I wouldn't be bothered if planning to use with something like the eibachs, I had them in a dturbo hdi (same chassis set up,including front springs as the rallye). I tried with both the original 5002p7 springs and the eibachs. Good with the standard stuff with good control of rebound but found them to be well under par with the eibachs (30mm). I would stretch for the b8's if using good lowering springs. You should be aware that the ultra sr has a longer stroke than the standard gti 6 5208 N2/N3 front shocks approx 1.5 inches. If going for KYB for road use save a few more quid and go for the excel G's |

Excel G's? Not head of them before? I'm about to buy new front shocks for mine, want standard height so thought the KYBs and KYB springs would be ok.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |
