February 15th, 2008 08:04 PM #1Hi po,
I've gone through a lot of threads and read them. It seems that most of the people prefer gas type of kyb shock replacement; however, most of them point it out that they prefer kyb gas type (excel-g aka gr-2) because of the stiffer aspect and good cornering (less chassis flex).
In my case, I am just an ordinary road user who wants a well maintained brand new feel in an 8-yr old car stock car with no plans of any sort of performance upgrade. BTW I am using a Lancer GLX 2000 4g15 SOHC carb engine.
There were several points considered between gas vs fluid in particular they say that gas shocks are more durable than fluid types that is in exchange of a stiffer ride.
In as much that I want to replace it with original shocks from MMC, I can't do it because it's too expensive. All I can settle with is an aftermarket replacement such as kyb, tokico, or monroe. However it boils down to a common denominator - gas or fluid.
It's ok for me to spend a little more with gas, as long as I can achieve the comfort of an almost "brand new feel" of an old car in comparison with a fluid type.
I don't go for speed. I go for a safe and comfortable ride always.
Ty po sa lahat ng mga previous posters regarding shocks at sana po matulungan ninyo ako sa halos dalawang linggo ko nang pinag-iisipang disisyon.
A few notes: The pit a base model BYD PHEV vs a TOTL Honda ICE. Spoiler: The Honda won, but...
