Garm, you're the best. Just nabbed them, been looking for these for months. I'm keeping my oem Monroe's on the front paired w/ these to keep my understeer to a minimum.

I wouldn't have hesitated if the Rand wasn't in the messed up state it's in :'(

tmontague let us know how they feel :D oh and how are those Monroe's vs stock?

[tmontague]

I have Monroe's front and KYB rear (or wait, I may have it the other way around, I can't remember)

Either way, the original switch from the stock struts/shocks which had 130,000km on them wasn't a big difference. The stock ones were somehow not worn out so the handling was still find. The high speed compliance seemed better and smoother though.

They handled the MI lowering springs with no problem and made the ride still comfortable and the springs limited the body roll.

Keep in mind I also installed a rear sway bar around the same time as the struts/shocks.

I have slight understeer which is very minor if I push it hard on slippery conditions. I've yet to get to that point on dry conditions and I likely will unless this became a track car.

Thank you for the info, it helps to know. I think I might just stick to the common shocks at this point in time. I don't always drive like a mad man at night but when I do I'm sure they will be miles better than these busted OEM ones.

I can only blame girlfriends living on farms with the worst dirt roads eva' haha

A bit more searching reveals both front shocks are available online here:

hmmm, that must be relatively new. I searched a month or so ago and they were listed but none were available. Either Tokiko is bringing them back, or somehow a few were found and they too will be sold out soon once their gone.

I hope they are brought back, I'd love to have the Blues on all 4 corner of my Yaris.
