    hey i got myself a set of kyb sierra shocks like the ones that are first on the list...just thought i'd mention that on the box it says they're from a suzuki jimny

    probably doesn't matter but just thought i'd share the fact they're from that car too
    same part number etc.

    lets see how i go....i wonder how low my 86 is gonna sit with this and chopped trd blues eek!

    so au springs i suggest arent progressive rate then??? i mean because it has been said to just cut 1 spring in half, then if they were progressive then 1 side would be soft and the other hard...

    Also what is the spring rate of the au rear springs compared to std springs (im assuming ke70, ae71 and ae86 all have the same)

    hmm good to see that there is a topic about this...


    i work for a 4wd mob and every time i fit up shoks i always think if they would fit..

    just found out hilux / 4runner front shoks are stiff as hell and lengths are 390 extended and 270 compressed
    they are ridepro shoks and available from off road equipment in myaree at 125 each retail

    i can get them at a better price if local ppl are interested just pm me
