I have been searching this forum to find out more about KYB shocks as I will be replacing my shocks this week. From what I have read the KYB's are very good value, give a firm ride but will wear out faster than koni's ect.
What sort of life expectancy would you expect from a set of KYB's? Also how much did you pay for your set of KYB's? (shocks only) and which model did you get? Thanks |

Most standard shocks have a life of 100,000km

I'll pay as little as possible
 depends on what I'm getting as to what I will pay but a place online quoted me $220 for front and rear KYB's, which seems cheap but after doing some searching on here one person said he got pedders shocks (rebadged KYB's) and springs fitted for $450 so maybe the price is right. What about you frase? how much for the boge's?

$220 for front & rears? sounds pretty good!
i've got the BOGE shock prices written down at home somewhere, but were pretty good too!
