phildog33 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 My friend who drives an SUV (lexus hybrid) was saying how rough my car is over the bumps on the BQE freeway here... and his is smooth and you dont feel anything. All the different variables aside... Which KYBs would be better for situations like that... the 00-04 shocks or the 05 ones? p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted October 10, 2010 Mega Users Share Posted October 10, 2010 That's the problem...people are happy with both of them, but there are really no real world comparisons between the two. In theory, the 05's would be softer over bumps without the bounce. If you are worried about harshness, then you'll probably be happier with the 05 shocks.

phildog33 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 just reporting that i replaced all the shocks with KYB and the rear springs with rallitek overload springs and my ride is really really great the old shocks were shot... so the new ride feels pretty firm but doesnt bottom out like it used to in NYC driving and the overload springs are awesome.. my Y pipe was barely touching my 21mm rear whiteline sway.. and now they are apart and not touching at all -- i ahve about 250 lbs sound deadening added to the car and 350 pounds of sound equipment, batteries and inverters in the back also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
define Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Did you go with the 05 or 00-04 dampers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog33 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hey guys, I just wanted to revive this thread and ask question... its been about 2 years and the front shocks havent been able to hold up the NYC driving and pot holes.. i need to replace them.. the rears are ok the shop says.. with the Rallitek overload springs Should I replace all 4x with somethign better than the KYBs? I dont need a racing shock... I need something that will give a great ride in City Driving conditions in NYC and speed bumps all the time, etc... What can you recommend? And should I get a better overload spring for the front too? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
