Hello,
Anyone got any experience/thoughts on KYB Gas shocks (Excel-G) - they seem to be an extremely good price from www.buypartsby.co.uk (fronts £53/pair inc VAT)
I'm after some replacement shocks for a Cinq sporting (front ns shock has lost all its oil) and I want to fit lowered springs (prob Apex.) and Powerflex bushes while the suspension's stripped down. Real aim is good road performance with some reasonable behaviour on bumpy side roads rather than extreme handling. So I fancy something a bit better than standard shocks, but trying to control overall cost (and the KYBs are cheaper from buypartsby than anything else I can find)
If not KYB, suggestions please for replacement fronts.
And an associated question - If you get the full Apex kit, who makes the shock absorbers, 'cause I can't see 'Apex' shocks available separately from anywhere.
Thanks for any comments
Chris
PS I've been reading this forum on and off for months and it's been a wonderful source of Cinq knowledge, so thanks everyone so far.
