Subject:KYB gas shocks - opinions please?
From:Anthony Polson

I live in the UK, and have just purchased an H+R sports suspension kit from
Germany for my Vanagon.  It consists of four replacement springs (45mm or
1.75" lower than stock) and four KYB gas shocks, made in Japan.  I was
surprised ... I expected German Boge or Bilstein shocks.

I am not familiar with KYB gas shocks and wondered if any of you guys in the
USA (and Germany) had any opinions about the likely ride quality.  I am
looking for good firm control of suspension movement but hopefully without a
harsh ride.

Any experiences?

Tony
