What are you using the Disco for.
Not many people run those shocks, most tend to stay with the OME or Bilstein's unless they are looking for an inexpensive way to go and the buy Terra Firma shocks.

I have ran KYB's on my Montero, I do not remember the part number, but a great shock.

And just a FYI Mike, KYB's are not cheap, they rank with Bilsteins if not better.

I didn't mention any reference to price on the KYB's, but for your information, they are $35 cheaper then OMEs and near $50 cheaper then the Bilsteins, that makes then cheaper when cost compared on British Parts of Utah.
My feelings on KYB's is they are an OK shock for light duty application, that is why I asked what the truck was used for.

Dont go KYB GR-2....they leak earlier than expected and eventually just end up costing you more money.

Never had them leak before on other vehicles Ashtray.

Mike i use it to run to the doctors and to the store mainly. Road time long trips and a scenic route here and there. Nothing crazy.

Thanks for you input on them!

What can you buy them for?
I believe I heard Napa also has a KYB shock, can't remember what they sell for there.
