To my knowledge, you can't buy the KYB bearing size.
|
So if you buy new shocks, they don't come with the bearings? What a rip off!

They come as a sealed unit ie with the bearings inside 2pot whas showing you the bit what fails from a disassembled shock. So yes you get the bearings for free
Going to wait hopefully black Friday might see some reduced prices on KYB shocks unless there are some cheaper alternatives which I'm not aware of :) |

Will it still rub even after having arches rolled? Need to make a purchase by tomorrow |
Sorry to revive this thread but I got a a full set of KYB shocks and top mounts in the sale. (Big thanks to 2pot for helping me out)
Any tips on maintenance before fitting the new parts? Just checking that they don't need to be greased etc ? |

where did you get the shocks from in the end excel g or ultra sr
Off top off my head, I believe the total for all 4 shocks/top mounts and dust covers came to around £420 inc vat. |

They are the Excel G parts I believe. I bought them from Buycarparts who are part of AutoDoc but they had 26% off whereas everyone else had 25% off so bought from there as was a little cheaper.

Yes, the items were ordered on black Friday and delivered on Tuesday so pretty impressed with the delivery.
I wish I could fit them myself, will probably book car in at Richard Henry's to have this fitted. Hope its not too expensive :( |
Shouldn't take a competent mechanic much more than 4 hours to complete.so depending on local rates £150-250
|
@Discover did they ever turn up? i have an STi hawk with knocking rears. budget isn’t an issue really but the timing is. |
can potentially assist with some Pedders - never fitted as have different car now..........
