Hsoj Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So I found this difficult to believe. I cant fing the kyb gr2 part number listed for the brat. Did they stop making them? If so what's the next best option? I was looking at these air runner systems for air springs and they bolt on over the kyb so I was going to inquire......

Hsoj Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 http://www.universalairsuspension.com/store2/catalog/universal-suspension-aero-sport-universal-p-31.html This looks promising but expensive. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsoj Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Does anyone have the part number for a kyb shock for an 84 gl? Im not finding one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman2 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I got Sachs from Rockauto. I think kyb discontinued the struts for us. Most likely you could still find a set on Ebay. I know nothing about the air bags or air lift that you showed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsoj Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ok, thanks. Anyone have any experience with Gabriel struts? Any preferences anyone have? Id like to stick with a quality product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman2 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I installed Gabriel struts on my Brat 15-16 years ago and they seemed very good replacing the old factory struts. The driver's side factory strut had developed a mild leak and had around a 140k miles on them. I just replaced the Gabriel struts a couple of months or so ago with the Sachs. It was a very noticeable difference. The Gabriel struts had no leak and about 95k miles on them. They also passed the bounce test but took way less pressure to compress than the new Sachs. The Gabriel struts are good for the money they cost, which are pretty cheap. They are probably a decent 60k-75k strut. I don't know how long the Sachs will last but they were right much more money. I imagine this set my last as long as the Brat has left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
