kyb gas-a-just is not the adjustable one, yung kyb AGX ang adjustble - medyo mahal po ito. i have no idea lang how much it costs today?

authorized mitsubishi shops (like el dorado, bestcolt, etc.) also offer/sells geniune replacement parts like GMB waterpumps, KYB shocks, Daikin exedy clutch assembly, etc. kapag talagang short sa budget to buy OEM parts, they recommend/offer quality replacement parts. timing belt lang ako hindi nagre-replacement, vital part kasi ito ng engine.
sa mga shops na ito po ako bumibili, reputable shops po kasi sila. recommended shops din po sila ng mitsulancerph at mymitsu car clubs.

IMO you should go for the OEM to retain the comfort of a brand new car... considering your options, i have no idea sa performance ng tokico (kung may fluid type sila) pero totoo na walang kuwenta kyb fluid because it breaks down faster than your unleaded gasoline.. hehehe

i use to have coilovers and kyb gas then switched to tokico gas paired with tein lowering. ibang iba perfomance nila... i like the tokico better with the firmness. advise lang to sakin ng shop kaya sinubukan ko. ngayon hindi na ganon kasakit sa puwet kung long drive unlike before.

sa mga nagtatanong san nakakakuha ng tokico and paraut, meron sa evangelista mayoparts yung shop. ang bilis pa ng palit... dami nila gumagawa eh. price... 2.2k tokico gas, paraut gas 1.8k, kyb gas 2.3k. medyo mahal pa daw to pero may tiwala kasi ako sa shop kaya dun ko na din kinuha.

*Archie,
dude reputable shop ba? parang ang mura naman ata ah, have tried driving a car with a KYB gas-type shock? di ko alam kung alin ang kknin ko eh, if tokiko or KYB, mas preferred nila ang kayaba eh,

add ko na rin Contact nos. ng MAYO parts

oo nga pala, kaya ako nag-upgrade sa gas-type kasi palaging marami akong sakay sa tsikot ko, daily driven pa ito. noong nka-fluid-type pa, palaging sumasayad sa mga humps/rampa.

kung 1-3 persons lang sumasakay sa tsikot mo, mag-fluid type ka na lang. swabe pa rin ang ride at makakatipid ka din dito. check mo nga pala ang shock rubber mounts mo kung palitin na rin.
goodluck po ulet.

*mackkam-- its a very reputable shop naman, medyo kilala sila sa evangelista. dalawa shop nila, punta ka muna dun sa retail nila medyo maliit yung shop pero malaki naman yung signage and kahit tanong ka dun kilala niya and they can show you where. then after nong pagkabili mo pupunta ka sa parang gas station and dun nila kabit. puwde ka din search around muna for cheaper pero it would take time sa pagkabit. wala ako contact number nila eh. i just go there if i want to buy accesories.

reguarding naman sa whats better, IMO mas ok talaga performace ng tokico than kyb. parang sobrang tigas ng kyb for me... mas may control sa ride yung tokico but still firm. and to top it all, mas mura ng 100 petot yung tokico kasi daw mas sikat na ang kyb for repalcements.

ah ic, bkt ganun, sa suking autosupply d2 sa amin, mas mura daw ang Tokiko kesa sa paraut? awwww, bkt ganun?

mas ok sana kung may kontaks, para atleast madali mahanap or makausap,
free installation ba toh?

**impulzz** · February 29th, 2008 05:18 PM

parehas kami ng problema ng TS... low budget but badly needed to replace all 4 shocks. what i did was had my 2 front shocks refilled (by Zee) KYB repalcement for my vitara is 4800 a piece so refill muna, then got brand new KYB gas type for the rear, since its just 1300 a piece and even zee recommended na mas mura lalabas ang brand new. so total cost was 6k more or less. so far so good. Zee even gave 1 year warranty on the refilled shocks not bad for a repair job.

hmm.. i really dont know. kasi yun yung price na binigay sakin before... if you can get it sa malapit sanyo, your better off doing that. yung sa mayo parts kasi malapit sakin and sabi ng mga ngkakabit mas mura pa daw sa banawe pero parang lugi ako sa layo kaya ok na ko sa mayoparts.

yep, its free installation naman sakanila. ok naman for me... kala ko din before na mas mura kyb kesa tokico pero hindi na daw ngayon. well yun lang sinabi sakin.
