    After using KYB extensively in the early to mid '80s and I mean we had a bunch of cars running the KYB gas-A-just . I then moved to Tokikco I think it is. They are a premier manufacturer for many brands I've also had Koni and Bilstein back in the early days but it seems that was just a lot of money for pretty color inserts but all that stuff is subjective when you lower a car tighten things up and all that it's great for auto crossing in the like but really driving the car on any kind of basis quickly becomes not so fun a good working suspension is a great thing all the way around suspension travel is needed You don't want to remove it or minimize it generally speaking except for a few minutes on the weekend.
