Subject: Re: tokico shocks any good? by ghoffman on 2008/11/24 19:21:26 It is hard to beat the Bilsteins on a dollar basis. The Koni's are adjustable but it is such a PINA that you won't bother. The KYB's are really soft, to the point that they are not really there doing much. These are shocks we tested,results may vary. Keep in mind except for the Penskes (lower right) we have had only one sample of each of the others and it is not good science to draw conclusions from one sample. The upper left is a QA1 The lower left is Bilstein Upper right is a KYB Lower right is a Penske I have much more data but some get all upset if I publish. Others can post as they see fit. Let's discuss what we see. I can say the Penske is the best curve, almost no hysteresis (i.e. the lines track the same going out and coming back in) and the KYB has very little of anything (however it was very used).
