got a set of KYB shocks for Zikas' nubira as well and the car felt much better now... more stabilty at high speeds and even better braking performance.

ok im confused, what are the best "bang for the buck" (better than oem) shocks & struts out there?

MMamdouh · Post by **MMamdouh** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 10:35 pm

best OEM replacment: KYB GR2, Monroe are said toi ber great too but in here they cost twice as much as the KYB premium so no thank you.

best high performance: KONI i guess... they cost 7 times as much as the KYB premium.

so the kyb gr2's are better than oem? and are a reasonable price? will they be ok if i lower it like 1.5 inches?

(edit - i looked up kyb.com and realized im an idiot for not reading)

i was told that the KYB premiums i got are better than the OEM (refer to the pic in my previous posts) and the GR2 are better than the premiums so i guess the GR are far better than the OEM.

Just bought a complete set off of ebay for $150 including shipping for my 2001 Lanos. I'll let you know how installation goes after I get them.

Here's the link

I'm sure they are. If you look at his other auctions he uses the same picture for lots of different vehicles. I e-mailed him the make model and year of the car as well as the VIN, so hopefully I'll be okay.

not to make you feel bad... but for the same money you could have gotten them AND the new strut boots

another test today and the car is far more stable... doesn't sway that much as it used to do... still have some rattling noise at the back and i can't tell if it is suspension or the junk in the trunk.

junk in the trunk

yeah... a big ass tool box full of all kinds of wrenches, sockets, screw drivers, etc and a 2 ton jack and neumirous cans of dash cleaners, brakes fluid, wiper fluid and all... those are some 40 kgms in weight and can be very noisy.
