Derek;

"I'd keep away from KYB."...please elaborate on your reasons and reasoning...

I have KYB Gas Shocks in combination with stock springs and Front (1 1/*8") and Rear (3/4") ASBs in both 122 and 1800, and must say that I like the road-manners of both very much...still relatively soft and able to handle bumps and undulations well because of the original spring heights and rates, but quite capable (and fun!) in the twisties also, and able to take advantage of modern tires at the limit.

My target is not to build a short trip boy-racer, but a normal, capable roadcar, with road-manner which will allow me to take a long trip without needing to have fillings reset at the dentist, and regretting having hardened up the suspension, with lowered or progressive springs...what say you?

Cheers
