    soooo bought some jdm standard struts the other week to pull apart and get some trd gear for, as i pulled off the dust cover noticed a four way adjustable shock!! i nearly did a back flip

    turns out they are Bridgestone Potenza Gymkhanas made by KYB, on the shock it says SUS00125 and MD29 KYB

    body length of 402mm, not sure where to measure extended length from

    Extremly Over steery, power out of corner in the dry(3rd-4th) you feel the rear wanting to step, in the wet its pretty loose, steering feels like a gokart, even with old continental's (comforts) on the front sticks like shit to a blanket
