told u it would make a big difference now ur a step closer to stayin with mine in a corner

how bad where the old ones?

mcwilly · 23-01-2007, 03:37 PM

i didnt see them wasnt really that worried. but lets just say 2.5 years ago wen i got springs put in they couldnt stay up, centre rod just dropped straight down. so i dare say they were stuffed. 800 aint all that bad i thought seeing they are meant to be more then that just for struts never mind fitting and wheel alignment

mcwilly · 23-01-2007, 03:37 PM

dont worry ill keep up

ROB-80E · 23-01-2007, 08:22 PM

$800 is a good price dude! The KYB's are a good strut.

mike_d87 · 23-01-2007, 09:31 PM

I got mine for $550

mcwilly · 23-01-2007, 09:31 PM

i cant believe the difference they made im glad i went with these. i thought if u were using them they cant be to bad. just lookin at sway bars bushes. then gtr engine wid cooler microtech exhaust clutch and fuel pump maybe if i need it to get the engine done then a respray.

mcwilly · 23-01-2007, 09:59 PM

pr1mo · 24-01-2007, 12:28 PM

Depends on V6 or 4cylinder.

4 cylinder is a lot cheaper

If anyone is in sydney Call up Penrith wholesale suspension - Ask for JOSH. tell him Mx6- ROD said you can do great things. He can get KYB's for you.

I got mine all ready with Eibachs and new strut tops and extractors all ready for my BA HT
