Why not look beyond the usual mass market stuff and consider Tokico?

They are a specialist company and manufacture considerably superior products for a, far toooo, cheap price.

kyb. had monroe gt in my celica, had about as much body roll as the 20yo stock shocks.

Monroe are shit! Would not put them on my Lawnmower. :lol:

Stick with name brands, just in case something turns bad and you can get them warrantied.

i got told.....

if u have a holden/ford or the like go for monroe, if u have a car from the land of the rising sun, go for kyb. best rule of thumb

I have run KYB in three different Toy's, and found them very good.

by **deaf_rattle** » Sun Sep 12, 2004 10:18 am

kybs are very good.
i can get them for my car for $75 each

but monroe are cheaper again, but you probably get what you pay for

Had Monroe Sensatracs on my Rover before going to coilovers and had no issues with them at all.

Had Monroe GT Gas in the old corolla wagon.. they seemed okay...
KYB in the AE85.5 and they're harder than the monroes... Both seemed okay though...

where can you buy $75 kybs ?

by **deaf_rattle** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 4:05 pm

trade price at one of my suppliers.
that was for my car tho, but id say most inserts would be roughly the same.

by **Tokico** » Tue Sep 14, 2004 11:07 am

Yes, please PM me for a quote on Tokico, I will help you, but please remember that choosing product because of price (low or high) can be a mistake. Warranty, suitability, availability, and ease of buying can also be important.

Whats wrong with KONI?
What would you reccomend in the way of rebuildable shocks?

AW11 Track Toy · by **Caveman** » Tue Nov 09, 2004 12:10 pm

I would definitely recommend kyb's. Very little body roll and great handling.

by **atmosports** » Tue Nov 09, 2004 5:15 pm

Koni's are fine for what you pay for them, the only hassle I've ever had is getting them serviced properly but there is options for this that don't include STOCKS. I haven't run Monroe's in ages but in a Falcoon,Commonwhore they are ok. I have had issues with KYB's & warranties on them, they reckoned there was nothing wrong but why did a new set suddenly transform the car even though the first set hadn't even done 5,000km's & why did my dyno show a difference between the first set I brought & the second set if the first set were stuffed. I can go on & tell stories about most shocks/forks etc but as said above you get what you pay for & stick to the name brand recommended stuff like everyone else uses if your not sure.
