Body Roll??

When i got mine in Sammy, i said goodbye to all body roll, i guess that might be the difference between lows and superlows!!

handling will be worse on superlows than on lows.. its a trade off between looks an handling.

Hey Sammy did you get your KYB's installed at a workshop or did you install them yourself?

If you got them installed for you where did you get it done at? I'll need a phone number at least.

And if you done them yourself i'll need to talk to you.

How'd they fit the rear shockies in as i got a set and the locking rings that i got supplied are too small to screw in did they use the original locking rings or what?

The shock has to take more load through a longer movement because the springs are lower, the KYB is designed for lows not super lows.  Therefor it takes longer for the shock to take impact thus increasing body roll due to its lag time.

That prbably doesnt make sense but i understand it, lol.

I've got a quote for KYBs at $450 for the set (front and rear), and as far as I see it, that's a pretty good deal.  They want $220 for installation <bleh> so I want to know, particularly from weasel whether they can be installed easily or not.  Did that problem with the rear locking nut cause you much hassles?

Also, just making sure here, I shouldn't have any problems with these shocks if I fit low King Springs, should I?

You'd have no problems at all... other than an overwhelming urge to enter corners twice and fast (just ask aussie-gli... or drive behind him on some very curvy roads ;D).

they caused me a shit load of hassles and i haven't even done it yet (lazyness, clutch just gone, lazyness)

BUT i don't have my original locking rings (i threw them out when i got my monroes put in)

I have been told that if you do have the original locking rings then it's no problem you just need to take out the rubber inserts and they will fit.

thats true the locking rings at the back that come with the kyb dont fit on the car u have to use the original ones so they all fit well , i paid 190 for front and 140 for back so that is 330 for all shockers so i think 450 is alot bro !!

$450 is quite a decent price sammy, just remember not everyone knows someone else like alot of ppl on here seem to.

to me $450 is quite good being that i got the rear for $260 so if the don't front come in at less than $190 (which i can't see happening) you've scored yourself a better deal than me
