Car Forum / MINI / August 2003Suspension Question
Ok, which do i choose for my suspension shocks SPAX? KYB? GAZ? KONI? i am sure you all have comments about either so any would be appreciated. i need good handling but nothing too bumpy, or the missus will moan ;) cheers.

I have KYB gas-adjust (self adjusting) and they are a really good upgrade from the standard oil dampers. They are also pretty cheap and the handling is good even when lowering the ride height. I'm very happy with them Dantiri > > SPAX? > > KYB? [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Dantiri Our experience from customer feedback is excellent on the KYB's. They are even good with big heavy 13" wheels. If you want to avoid harshness, don't use Spax. They are a good shock for competition or die hard road racers (!), but not so good for general road use. Koni's are nice, but have to be removed from the car to adjust. I don't have too much knowledge on GAZ, but I think Tim will comment on these.... eh, Tim? My vote is with Dantiri and the KYB's.
