Need tips on replacing Shock Absorber

[goldencoil]

Hi All!
Bago lang akong member dito.

Kakabili ko lang nang 2nd hand car and Im planning to change the Shock Absorbers. Pero due to budget constraints, plano ko sanang bumili nang 2 originals sa rear at 2 surplus sa front.

OK lang ba to? Anong brands ba mare recommend nyo?

[ssaloon]

parecondition mo nalang yung existing mo sa ZEE! :D

[ET1]

I think KYB are a good replacements. Halos mga japanese cars use KYB shocks.

[mhelskie]

I agree...dalhin mo sa ZEE yan para maayos, guaranteed mas mababa ang magagastos mo compared kung bibili ka ng shocks

[baiskee]

san ba yung ZEE?

[goldencoil]

ZEE sounds to be a good suggestion. Pero I understand na may two types of SHOCKS. May Gas Type at may Fluid Type.

1. Kaya ba nang ZEE yung dalawang types na to?

2. Saan nga ba itong ZEE na to?

3. Magkano kaya gagastusin ko kung yung 4 shocks ko ang papa service-an ko?

[ssaloon]

1. yes, they can also convert your fluid type shocks to gas charged ones.
2. along aurora near SM centerpoint.
3. ???

600 refill per shock + 100 labor per shock

Try calling them up just to be sure.

agree! contact or visit Toti Cruz (ZEE shop). agahan mo lang dahil daming nagpapagawa dun.

Okay sa ZEE. Nakapag-pagawa na ako ng shocks dito. Pero kung talagang replacement ang gusto mo, okeh din yung KYB.

Kung sa kotse mo ikakabit, recommend ko wag kang mag-gas shock kung madalas, iisa ka lang na nakasakay. Masyadong matagtag. Pero kung madalas full load yung kotse, mag gas shocks ka. Then again, the selection of shocks for a ride depends on the needs and preferrence of it's owner.

How much naman kung papaconvert ang fluid to gas don sa Zee?

[GlennSter]

the best kay zee...herherher

[goldencoil]

I was able to talk to Toti.

Wala daw bayad yung pagpapa convert sa Gas type kasi same procedure din lang naman ang gagawin.

Salamat sa mga suggestion nyo guys. I will arrange my sked para makadaan ako sa dun.

By the way, iba na pala yung mobile number nya. It is now.

revive ko lang po...

how much kaya per KYB gas shock, ung pinaka base model? any idea what particular model fits under an ae92?

any cheaper alternatives? i'm not very particular with performance, basta ung matibay B)

[M]

KYB can cost anywhere from 3k to 5k depending on the car (this is OE spec).

ZEE or cruven can rejuvinate shocks at a fraction of the cost.

Gabriel's are cheaper than KYB and can be had bnew.

Last July bumili ako ng KYB shocks pang harap sa accord ko 1.8k each, bnew. Free delivery pa sa bahay :D

ganda nga KYB. mura lang tol. bumili ako for my nissan 2200 ata harap 1800 likod.
mejo matagtag nga lang pero marami nagsasabi na mas matibay ang gas-filled.
tama nga ba mga chong?

[chris_d]

I called up partstar and had the parts delivered. Sa Petron ko pinakabit, 350 pesos per damper labor cost. 500 pesos each naman yung damper stopper(Orig. Honda binili ko kaya medyo mahal).
