June 9th, 2008 10:39 AM #1hi there,
need your thoughts on shocks problem. mechanic is offering a service- palitan nya daw insides ng shocks, lower cost.
kayaba bnew shocks kit, instead na bili ng bnew shocks, mas makakamura daw ako.
he is not disclosing how much the cost will be that's why im a bit skeptical.
anyone here had experienced this, please share with me if i'd consider this offer.
thanks!

shock is sealed. ano yan gripo para palitan lang ng gasket. Walk away dont ever look back.
Sign of a broken shock, oil dripping from the tube, car too bouncy, feather wheel at kumakalabog kahit kunting pot hole.

if you really need to replace shocks, don't go for KYB kayaba. they are stiff. do a search for kyb kayaba here, you will notice maraming tsikoteers nagsasabi na medyo stiff sila.

anyways, yung kyb if stiffer than OEM's pero natural lang naman yun kasi gas type na yung papalit. if you want softer ride na gas pa din, tokico is for you and mas mura pa!!!
to give you an idea...
2000 civic shocks
kyb -- 1550 per pc
tokico -- 1450 per pc.
