Kyb shocks

Is anyone using these on their static drop. If so how do you like them? Reason for asking, I noticed ece shows them in their catalog on all their drop kits.

Re: Kyb shocks

KYB and Koni are both a higher end shock that produce a nice ride. Typically they will be slightly firmer which will work out nice up front and help prevent seriuos dquatting in the rear. We've been happy with both companys products over the years.

Belltech's engineers focused their attention on tuning the low speed compression characteristics of this shock absorber, which is responsible for controlling your Sport Truck or SUV’s pitch and roll, dive and squat to help keep you confident and in control. The “Progressive” rebound tuning will complement large aftermarket wheels, keeping the ride smooth but firm and in control. •
The ultimate in Premium Street Performance solution •
  • Vehicle specific applications •
  • Oversized Construction provides additional damping control •
  • 15mm piston rod, 35 mm piston and a 55 mm shock body •
  • Internal Teflon coated bushings and piston seals avoid metal to metal contact, provides lowest possible friction resulting in long lasting performance • Increase in handling and performance at maximum comfort

You could still use Belltech shocks. Just need to tell me what size shock you need and mounting style.
