Which Shocks..... Tokiko KYB???

[antnicuk]

I am looking to get new shocks for my TII,  has anyone got any opinions on KYB or Tokiko?

[cjr]

depends what you want them for?

[antnicuk]

just fast road,  i like playing on the strip , bit of drifting and track days but mainly i use it on the road so its a compromise as usual....

Chris,  (i\'m gonna hijack my own thread now)   what clutch do you use?,  and how much are they?
regards
Tony

You get what you pay for. A mate had some KYB ajustables and he said they where softer Koni\'s.

If you want my Opinion keep you eyes skined for some good second hand coil overs.

[antnicuk]

i have been looking but they are as rare as hens teeth.    I\'m not paying over a grand for new ones.....

Are their any good quality makes out there?  Koni dont make them for the FC i was told.

[Grizzly]

O yes they do. I know becouse i got some myself. Belive it or not there cheaper than the stockers from Mazda. LOL

Its like anything i supose its being in the right place at the right time.

I phoned a Koni dealer and he said they dont list them.   He had some for a first Gen.
Who did you get yours from?  what sort of money were they?

I havent got your mail re the bodykit

They arn\'t that much between them really, both very good brands at similar prices...
 They are both very good shocks that will last. And to be honest \'ANY\' new shocks will do a good job for your application - \'street and arseing about\'..  :p

 I must add, ANY absoutly ANY change/new suspension you get will be an improvement, the \'Love Boat\' comes to mind...

To be quite honist i can\'t remember where i got them from, try asking Jetpilot or Sadgoth. If my memory serves wasn\'t Sadgoth selling some Koni\'s?

Koni defintely do them...we list the FC (albeit as FC13) in the catalogue at work

If youre buying konis new, you might as well get them anywhere (assuming youre buying from the UK)....everywhere i asked listed them as £520 for the set of 4.

If you do decide to get a set, i might *might* be able to source you some thru my work...might even save you a few bob

Hi m8, could you tell me what model Koni\'s you (may)have available at the price please.

[Jit]

not at work at the moment.....however, ifyou go onto the koni website and look up the shocks on their pdf catalgue, it should be on there...theres only 1 listing each for front and rear.....

After my discount, i calclated the price would be approx 15% off the 520 retail price....i tried a few places and koni uk told me that 520 was the retail price for the uk....

ill double check this when i go to work tommorow....youre not a million miles away either (i work in watford)....

[sadgoth]

Grizzly was right, I was considering selling the Koni\'s off a car I bought to break, but I kept them for myself. Koni do them as I have some :-)
