[Rice86]

Hi guys,

Car - ae86
suspension - standard ae86 things with lowered springs, car is about 10-15cm off the ground

im in the process of shopping for new shocks...

1. SW20 insert rearshocks for the ae86 fronts, is that correct?...anyone know part/stock number for these

2. and whats good for the rears to suit the low springs?...

im looking for best bang for buck in the KYB shocks, im trying to find out my options

and guys please its important if you could post the part/stock number to what you recommend too, would be nice...i am googling for the part/stock numbers as we speak, any help is welcome

maybe someone can confirm that.


the kyb website is quite easy to use,



youll have to look it up again though, as its a flash thing i cant like you to it properly.



but for the rear i have kyb 343113 (excel G), its a holden commondore wagon or something. good shocks, not the greatest, but they are only $70 each from repco/bursons. they are still holding up after a few years of normal driving.

just got got these from kyb.com.au

using for fronts: sw20 rear cartridge - 365100
using for rears: ae86 normal rear shock - 343036

both say Excel-G Twin Tube Gas Shock

what do ya'll rekon?

cheers ke70 Dave, thanks for the quick arse reply =p
yeah can someone confirm is thats that actual part number if they have used it from that sight before?

i got someone that maybe able to get it dirt cheap, i just ganna tell them the part numbers >.<

there was a better article on the old forum, but this one is still good.

are you lowering the car? if so dont use standard 86 shocks for the rear, id go the 343113, my car is pretty low but not rediculosuly low and they work quite good, enough shock extension to work, but short enough to hold the springs in.

[Rice86]

ke70 dave u legend....

yeah car is low, so feedback like these is what im after =]


343113, whats that shock?...finding it hard to locate what it is

[Rice86]

erh...is it SW20 or AW11 rear inserts
its AW11 inserts that i should be getting right?...not SW20?

[Cerby86]

the 343113 is out of a VL commodore from memory. I've been running a pair in my ae71 for a year or so and they work well, had them in my ae86 before that. obviously you could get a better shock if you want to spend dollars but compared to the ae86 shock its a massive improvement!

[ae86]

sw20 would be fine for that height, ummm u needa modify ur struts to put them in though, or ask ajps if they got any spacers for them ? thats if ur going AGX i dont think u need to change anything if your going excel-G

[Rice86]

thanks ae86, i was confused if it was AW11 or SW20 lol, good to know they both work same shit

thanks cerby86, asuming 343113 is KYB part number for the commo VL...

looks like i got my shocks sorted, time to see best price i can get these for =p
