    Just planning to replace my shock. Anong recommended niyo?
    I canvass a shock for trooper most shops na natanungan ko KYB ang brand

    Isuzu trooper 1992-2002

    Brand KYB GAS ADJUST - PRICE 1.2k each both front and rear
    KYB-KG54308-Rear part num
    KYB-KG54304- Front part number



    Brand KYB MONOMAX - I can't find any auto supply na meron nito. Magkano kaya eto?


    Brand Tokico Trek Master Series Shock Absorbers- How much kaya eto? Okay ba ang performance?


    Any recommeded shock and price, paki comment nalang.

    Thanks

    Tanong ko rin pala saan maganda magpakabit ng shocks, kasi diba kailanga icorrect din yung camber niya or tune yung suspension sa tama.

    Any recommended shops sana near dito sa SUCAT.

    More input pa sana para can help din for reference etong thread na eto. Thanks

    bro, you don't have to have your car aligned when you change your shox. unless it need alignment prior to the shx replacement.

    nope, with OME you will get none of the troopers swaying when overtaking, feeling mo tataob ang sasakyan, front end moving up and down when passing humps, diving when braking.

    the ride will be better than stock, handles better also. I suggest that you get the full package of shocks with the rear coil springs.

    and please dont waste your money on the cheap shocks, sayang lang pera mo.

    thanks sir ARB.

    4 shock and 2 coils and adjustment ng torsion bar?

    bakit 2 coils sa rearlang?

    Sir the Troopers front suspension uses torsion bar, while the rear uses coil springs. The torsion bar can just be adjusted to make the front taller and stiffer a bit. By installing the OME rear coil springs you will have better handling and carrying capacity without the harsh ride.

    Never tried Tokico (but they're the OEM's on the Jimny).

    KYB makes the OEM shocks for the Trooper.

    OME is good but $$$

    I'm happy with the KYB Gas-A-Just series (silver body).

    Take your pick.
