shocks for starex

would it be ok to change the shock absorbers of starex to gas shocks. will it be too stiff o matagatg or will the ride be just ok or a bit firmer than the original fluid filled shocks.

The ride WILL be a bit firmer than the original fluid shocks. My suggestion is feel your Starex if you are happy w/ the current softness of the shocks. If yes, then stick to fluid; else go for gas shocks. In my case, I found the original too soft so I shifted to gas shocks, and am quite happy with it. You can use KYB as it will last longer.

easydeal and speedyfix,
got the kyb gas shocks and mounted them already. the rides good and comfortable, better than fluid type. it's not matagtag. mas ok road dampening properties niya and mas tahimik ang ride. my old shocks really busted which is the cause of the kalampag. now with my new shocks, the kalampags gone. thanks guys, i'm again enjoying the ride of my starex.
