Koni vs. KYB vs. whatever

Post by spl310 »

I know that a lot of folks run KYB shocks as they provide good service and value, but price aside, what do the masses feel is the best shock for an enthusiast's car?

Koni vs KYB

I like the Konis, I have mine set at the softest setting and the car corners well without being to hard of a ride. I am told the KYBs are really soft but make for a smooth ride.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Sid,

I have run the cheaper GR2's on my street ride for several years and have no complaints. You cannot go wrong for the price. :D
