No photo shock or part number

This is not the white KYB KG5530 as advertised. They are gray with a different item number. They fit in the back of my bus but I'm not sure if they are the right dimensions.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • expensive

The shock absorber has become a shock absorber

I bought a pair of these last year, one of them completely jammed. Wouldn't let the suspension move an iota! I was told to look for a replacement, I would have to send it back. The return shipping cost is roughly the same as buying another device. I decided to just buy another one and no more problems so far.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Weight

Ideal for many uses

Remember they are stiffer than stock but will soften after a few hundred miles. Fits perfectly in the bed of my 1973 VW Westfalia tin roof bus. KIT 107 IS NOT REQUIRED FOR ACVW applications. It only includes a set of different shock absorber tubes and a washer. Standard screws on bay buses work fine without a kit. Save $8.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Has flaws

At first they seemed very tough and I was afraid I would do poorly.

Bought these for the front of my 77ft VW Westfalia. The old set was completely worn out. At first they seemed very harsh and I was concerned that I had made the wrong choice. After a few hundred kilometers they either broke or I got used to them. Anyway I like her now. They are easy to assemble, ride well and absorb bumps without jerking. Highly recommended

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Empty
