My old man is looking at new shocks for his 2000 Bravo and asked me if I'd heard of KYB shocks. Ive never heard of them but was interested if any one else had used them. They are only going to be used on the bitumen so dont need to be heavy duty. The price he got quoted was $130 a pair.
Cheers Matt.

Hi Matt,back in the 80's we used KYB's on the rear of our rally car,they copped some of the hardest and toughest forest roads,
creek crossings etc,etc.
We would compete in 24 rallys a year,and average competitive klms per event was around 250klm.Thats flat out for 250kph! We had the car for 3 years so thats 18,000 very hard klm,not to mention practicing and
test sessions.The shocks were still on the car when we sold it after 3 years and not a leak or crack on the mounting eyes anywhere.Hope fully they still make em like that!Cheers and good luck with them if you do decide to purchase them.
