:lol: thing is KYB are probably better than pro comp. I've had mine 7 years and they are still perfect, I know people who's pro comps shocks have started leaking within 2-3 years

I think a few of us got suckered in. What were we thinking. It is the "No dosh vitara revamp".

Of course its got cheap bits tarted up to look expensive, lol. I agree with Scottie though my KYBs have taken some serious hammer and are spot on still.

Thanks everyone, yes it is a no dosh revamp so I did cheat a little. Glad to hear KYB are good shocks, and they were a bargain too.
