And, Okay din po ba yung Cruven, maayos din po ba sila magtrabaho? Sang branch ba maganda - cubao or makati?

di makakaaffect sa performance ng oto mo yung KYB. if your stock shocks are fluids, replace it with fluid shocks too. or if you want to have it more durable, replace it with gas. yun nga lang, medyo stiffer ng onti ang ride mo. kung sensitive ka, may onting difference ang ride ng gas and fluid shocks.

ok din ang cruven kung medyo tight budget ka, pero kung talagang wala kang alam sa cars, i would recommend replacing it with brand new ones, hindi reconditioned. may sasabit at sasabit minsan eh.

and since yung sa oto mo, ang nakitang may leak is yung left front, you have to replace the front right too. don't replace only the left one, hindi papantay ang tindig ng oto mo. tsaka may effect sa ride quality.

how tight is your tight budget? kung talagang tight, just have your shocks repaired/refilled at cruven or zee.

Kung tight ang budget mo ay kyb is one of the good option. Pero mas maganda yung OEM shocks pero more than double yung price nya. Kay CJ sa may vito cruz makati ako bumibili ng OEM honda parts. bilis yata talaga masira ng shocks ng ES, yun kasing ES sa garahe 2001 model tapos after 3-4 years ay pinalitan ng lahat ng brand new shocks, di naman masyado gamit yung kotse at konti lang lagi ang sakay. Yung front shocks ng EK 98 ko ay orig pa din until now at wala pang leak. pero yung rear ay naka nitrogen sya at more than 2 years na sya na naka ganon pero every year ay pinapa refill ko ng gas. 100 psi ang pinapa lagay ko, pero balak ko na din palitan ng brand new kyb gas shock sa next maintenance ko.

meron pa kayang KYB shocks for 1984 ford Laser kasi kakapalit ko lang last october at sa west ave. pa ako nakabili ng brand new KYB rear gas shocks ko for my 1984 ford laser wala na silang pang front ano kaya replacement para sa front shocks ko kasi sa box ng nabili kong rear shocks is mazda 323 ibig sabihin yung yung alternative nya

Got my KYB Excel-G shocks from here din. Pero mga P3K+ for an '03 Camry. Noticeably stiffer yung KYB Excel-G compared to OEM (Tokico) shocks, especially now that I'm on lowering springs. Thing with that though was the OEMs, which rode a bit smoother, lasted only about 2 years and cost about P10K each. You could almost buy 3 Excel-Gs for the same price, kaya pagtitiyagaan ko na lang to hanggang mejo lumambot na.

Would anyone know the stock shocks for Corolla 96 gli? Gas or Fluid? I've been wanting to have my shocks replaced but delayed doing so coz when I called the casa last year they quoted me the ff prices:

Front Left - P5949, Right P6383
Rear Left - P6674, Right P6637
Labor - P825 per shock.

I find it too expensive so I called my suking auto shop and they said that they don't have original shocks, only KYB. (Fluid Type P2,100 and Gas Type P2,400) - Price quoted last year

The last time I had my car checked (around 0CT 07) by the mechanic at the auto shop, he said that the shocks were still be okay but just this week I noticed that the ride has become rough/matagtag on the driver's side. If the front shocks are damaged already, do I replace just the front shocks or would it be better to replace the rear as well (kahit di pa sira)? Does anyone know where I could buy original shocks for my corolla? or would KYB do na?
