    for a difference of 700 get the oem for your upper arm. Now for the shock, isn't it KYB is also the oem shock for honda and other japanese brand? correct me if i'm wrong.

    Sir Rusem,

    Saan store kayo nakabili ng replacement (kyb brand) = 1.7k? So that I can also inquire.

    Sir afrasay,

    Thanks a lot for the suggestion & infos.

    Yup, Carpower is a reputable shop. Sila pa magsasabi sa yo kung replacement lang yung part mo for your Honda, kung yun lang kaya ng budget mo.

    Some shops kasi, including Multiline, bibigyan ka ng replacement or fake na part, sasabihin sayo original, kahit obvious sa packaging pa lang fake na
