KYB Super Special for Street Adjustable Shocks!

[epic1400cs]

I have just found out that KYB(or Kayaba) Japan start selling 'Super Special for Street' Adjustable Shocks for our car.
Super Special for Street is US equivalent of AGX I believe.
Here is the Yahoo Auction in Japan page (sorry Japanese text and the pic is not for our model)
http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s7619703
The spec of this Super Special for Street is;
Compression 105-135% up
Rebound 100-150% up
Both front and rear have 4 step dial adjuster on them.
I know it is useless but here is the KYB parts number in Japan just in case if you are sceptial about it;
Front
SSB9026R ¥17,640
SSB9026L ¥17,640
Rear 　
SSB9027 ¥17,640 × 2
¥17,640 = approx $147 (@1 USD = approx. ¥120)
I dont know any info regarding release in US but I am very sure that the number of the 3rd gen Accord user in US is 100 times more than in Japan so there are some possibility, and I hope, that they start selling it in US.

Technically yes but in reality it will be very difficult unless you speak Japanese. Are you still around in UK? In UK there are some shops who can impor performance parts from Japan for example www.dragon2modz.com.

I have sent enquiry e-mail to KYB USA if they have a plan to sell it in US. I tried the same for KYB Japan but they don't have e-mail address or things like that other than tel/fax. I might to try fax this weekend. However, KYB Japan HP has a page where we can submit our request for particular type of shocks if that is not in production - it says they will use it for marketing purpose - that is nice.

Yes, I'am still in U.K, thanks for the link, realy nice shop!
UK is a paradise of import shops......but I am thinking just give the part numbers to CAYABA UK (www.kayaba.co.uk) and ask them if they can import these parts?
I have many friends with HONDA CRX/Civic VTEC, they use H&R springs -Cayaba shocks GR-2 and they are super happy.
I ask also Cayaba if GR-2 are just replacement and they told me that they are 15% harder than stock.
I think if AGX are available for our Accords that will be superb!!!
Also Kayaba is original suplier of Honda parts so I trust them.
Eibach springs/bilstein combination is totally crap as many people told me.
The only good thing about bilstein is that you can revalved them if they weared out.
But anyway, thanks again Epic for the part numbers, and the link for dragon2modz shop (they import also GROUND CONTROL so I may ask them in the future for a set of coilovers....).

Can you tell us with which one? (tried search but couldn't find one)
Good news is the KYB adjustable is still on the Japanese market.

Also there is a company who can help you import goods in Japan.

I haven't used this shop myself but when I calcurate all the handling charge etc, it was reasonable (doesn't mean dead cheap, due to shipping from Japan , though)
