I've seen 2 different models of KYB rear shocks: W0133-1611933 and KYKG9003.
I'm not sure if those are really different or just the same with different part numbers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Does anyone know the difference? Also, should I bother with KYB (since I'm cheap and have them in front) or pass and pay a bit more for the Bilstein? I have no rear torsion bar so I've seen some comments that the hard KYB might help in the rear, is this correct? Thanks. |

The W0133-1611933 models suck just slightly less than the extremely shitty KYKG9003 models. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Always go with the best shock you can afford on these little beasts. It will literally be a night and day difference in your handling. Bilsteins are excellent shocks. |
