pardon my ignorance, but are the prices u listed PER PIECE?

[Tohdj]

YES

[King]

got for 323 mazda?

[Genie47]

Damn good price! Tokico is OE for Toyotas. Best buy IMHO.

[Yansen]

how does KYB compare to these 2 brands? was told the KYB is $75/piece last mth when i was there.

[Genie47]

KYBs are known to be soft. Tokicos are slightly harder. Of course nothing beats Konis.

[Yansen]

oic. thanks. but then how come tokicos so cheap compared to KYBs? yeah the guy told me konis 100+/piece.

[Genie47]

If you like sporty performance and your are already running on lowered springs, get Konis. The rest are a waste of time if you have such a setup. If not, Tokicos will prove just fine. KYBs are expensive depending on where they come from. The good ones are made in Japan. The cheap ones are from Malaysia.

[Yansen]

icic. so r u saying if i'm using lowered springs, then use koni shocks. but if on OEM springs, then tokico shocks will do? thanks man.

[Ace_t]

Tokicos are actually made in USA.

 

The cheaper ones are made in Taiwan.

 

Am currently using tokicos.

[Yansen]

how do u find the tokicos? my ride is R10, shld be same as ur B13 rite? went a few stockists to recce n found that tokico is slightly cheaper than KYB. but then again, the guy at chop aik huat told me to use KYB over tokico leh.

[Ace_t]

tokicos are quite ok.. more firm against my Monroes

 

but since i had it lowered as well, the ride is more hard. Can feel every bump and hump when I go over it...

machiam free massage.

 

Not sure how KYB would perform, but I heard it's almost the same in 'hardness'

 

BTW, the shocks can be used for R10 and B13.. same mounting structures. Mine was swapped with an r10.

[Yansen]

oic. btw, how much labour does it cost in spore to change the shocks? thanks.

if u say the brand faster,it sounds like talk cork

[Ace_t]

When I swapped the springs and shocks at a petrol kiosk, the mech there charged me $120, but it was also to swap between 2 cars (8 times).

 

Roughly it should be around $80.

[Yansen]

ok thanks.
