    KYB Super Specials from Japan!

    My KYB adjustable rear struts from Japan arrived this week!!! I cheaped out and only bought the rears because I have front Koni's already. That being said, I'll probably order the front KYB's because the external adjustment feature will be much better!! Anyone on this board currently running KYB Super Specials or am I going to be the first? Also, ordered the "correct" NGK wire set for my JDM B20A. Gotta love JDM parts!!!!!

    Major modifications include:
    JDM Accord B20A engine swap
    89 SEi rear disc conversion

    Assuming that's for a set of 4 struts, that's cheap. I have no clue where you've been, though.

    Re: KYB Super Specials from Japan!

    Wow, I didn't know these would cause such a reaction!!! Anyways, these are NOT custom. They are available from KYB in Japan as shown in the catalog pages posted by ZackieDarko. They are pretty pricey. I paid 32,600 Yen for the rear pair which converts to approx $280US!!!! Then add shipping! However, considering Koni's are no longer available, it's the only direct fit adjustable strut for our cars left.

    what are the specs on them?

    how did you get them?

    did you order them from this site?

    can you give us any north american dealers/retailers we can get them from?

    those are nice. For those of you disturbed by KYB's shitty track history with 3g's, the GR-2s are fucking garbage, but KYB makes fuckin badass struts other than those.
