914World.com _ 914World Garage _ KYB Strut Inserts?

Posted by: seventythree May 26 2013, 01:33 AM

Are KYB strut inserts for the front gas charged?
In other words, when compressed are they supposed to spring back like the Koni Sport inserts?
TIA

Yes.

Many of us refer to KYB's as Kill Your Backs, very low buck in a 914 and not the best solution. I fact I just removed the KYB's from my bug, I'm going with stock shocks.

Yep, junk. Just shit canned a set and replaced them with Bilsteins. Which will outlive me.

I just did the same thing on Betsy, BIG difference. Got mine from Eric Shea at PMB Performance, great deal.
