rear shocks

Have to R&R the rear shocks on my '94 @ 160K miles.
OEM Toyota shocks are fine, but I'm not of the Saudi Royal family so
a pair of good, serviceable aftermarkets should do nicely over the remainig years in the car.
Suggestions?
Thank you

Cool

It depends on what you want in the ride. KYB's are the OEM, they're no more expencive than any other brands "luxury" shock.
If you want to keep the stock plushyness, you really need to take head of how mushy the stock KYB's are. So even if you buy something cheaper, it's not going to be cheap.


Also, the springs need to go at the same time. @ 160k they're bound to be sagging.

Well, actually the rear end of this thing isn't drooping at all,
so I'll tackle this thing as soon as this Iraqi-style summer
heat wave blows outa here.
Thank you, toysrme
