KYB Shocks or something else?
#21
I would go with either or. KYB is good but your risk being at square one because its only an OEM replacement no really specified for lower ride height where Stagg states that they lowest they go before voiding warranty is 1.5 inches. The KYB techs I talked to say their dampers for our car will most likely bottom out after a 1 in drop. Not saying either is better because stagg is still unknown and the GR-2's are just stock. IMO because I am riding on Stagg now will no problem you would get a little more bang for your buck.

Through a few days of researches on these! i see that one guy comment that the STAGG are a little stiffer then KYB, and Tokico are stiffer. I've had my dad's truck Monroe shocks blew withing 6months, and I've replace it with KYB GR-2 more then 2yrs and they still riding like day one! he do toll lumbers and heavy stuff, I'm pretty impressed with KYB GR-2, I Just order another set of KYB GR-2 for my aunt 03 MDX, and just notice KYB GR-2 is Made In Japan!!! and looks really quality built, in the other hand Stagg is Made In China, is another part which throw me off.
That's another part which I'm concerning on that KYB will not perform as great when it's lowered, unlike my dad truck and the MDX which is not lower, so I had no worries on it at all, and 100% sure KYB GR-2 will be the best replacement on cars are not lower. I think I'll gonna risk it with KYB anyway seem like the Stock OEM with TRD spring may handle up to 80k, so I think it would be okay.

also during the suspension swap yesterday I notice my rear right shocks 19mm bolt is missing! wondering if anyone know where I can I get that bolt replacement, and what's the thread for it. it's a bit bigger then wheel lugs. I was hoping the wheel lug would fit so I can tight it for temperarely.
gonna try to hit autozone, pepboys, napa auto part first thing after work today hope they have it.
Also wondering it the first tC RS which came with OEM Shocks/TRD if they did had the bump stop cut, or TRD spring do require to have the bump stop cut shorter any idea?

As far as the trd suspension thing, knowing the dealer they probably installed new bump stops all together. The hotchkis spring set comes with shorter poly-urethane bump stops.
