Just wait for KYB to make an AGX application for the Yaris- great strut, much cheaper.

yeah, i never seen this until now. but my friend installed a set on his Mustang. says it's way too stiff, even with the softest settings. but then again, he has Eibach springs and stabilizers (front and rear). i can't find the pics i took of his car.

You know, I'm not sure. I believe that they are, mostly because they made mostly domestic apps until a few years back, when they got into the sport compact thing pretty heavily.
Regardless, I've never been unhappy with any of their products- the GR2 non-adjustable is a good strut, as well, just not as well-suited to lowered vehicles.

Um no, about a grand, air ride would cost you less than coilovers and they would ride a hell of a lot better

wow, never knew that. i'm assuming that some people would rather get coil overs for the performance, and an air ride set up for looks?

I think air might end up being a few hundred more than coilovers. The Tein coilovers ride great BTW. |
