    For the sierra shocks, does it matter what year model they are meant for?

    The kyb suzuki shocks are OK, yeah there short and there stiff enough i guess.. The gabriel blue rider shocks are super stiff, like 3 or 4 times stiffer than the kyb's, the hilux shocks fit, there short enough but depends on how low your car is, i did find another set of blue riders which were even stiffer again and shorter, but they were too fat at the top. Best thing to do is go to a parts shop like repco for example and just measure n try. Tokikos would probably be the best option in my oppinion but not all of us are loaded either lol

    So you are saying that the gabriel blue rider suzuki is the pick of the bunch other than tokicos? are the hilux shocks shorter than the sierra's?

    Does anyone have an opinion on whiteline products, I know that there suspension components are highly regarded but I havnt heard anyone comment on there adjustable shocks.

    They make a kit for the sprinter that I might get pending price, or ill just get some Kyb agx adjustables

    whiteline are a good business, i am a distributor, some of their parts are good, some are junk...good range of cars catered for...

    they use mostly koni shocks in their adjustable shocks, they are ok...not short stroke or anything...

    KYB AGX? they arent made for ae86...although we stock the ones that fit...

    they are great, brad (customer) seems to like them...
