Killswitch Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 It appears that there is f@$k all decent 'sporty' shocks available for the KE70 struts. With most companies offering OEM replacements or nothing. So for those that haven't changed over to sprinter/corona/T18 struts. What shocks have you put in the front of your KE70? So far I've only found these companies to supply shocks to suit: Gabriel Monroe ACDelco Pedders Currently thinking either of the first three and f@$k pedders off.

LittleRedSpirit Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The main reason people swap to the bigger OD struts is because they don't want dampers from those 4 places. Its worth the change. I know everyone does it but with good reason. I haven't heard of any other companies that do dampers for KE70s. Even if koni made some, the would probably be full length. At least if you change to XT130, AE86, or T18 struts you will have larger brakes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasios Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 arent all those brands basically the same anyway? how low is your car what springs are u using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killswitch Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 My cars not low at all, whiteline springs all round. So whatever that drop is. I just thought there would be something better out there. Better than OEM anyway... I had already bought the springs ages ago and some ke70 slotted brakes before I'd given much thought what I wanted to use the car for. So I guess I'll just use what I've got to get the car on the road and when the time comes and cash is there change to something else. I'm sure OEM shocks will be fine with whiteline springs, just no doubt it could be better. Ah well... If you guys had to choose one brand there what would you go for?

Redwarf Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'd go the Pedders. but then I'm sponsered by them. :hmm: I will say that I've found there product to be quite good over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave71 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 throw your stock struts in the bin and get something 2 inch, ie - ae86, te72, xt130, etc pedders/monroe etc is junk for what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
