  • KYB Shocks

    About to order my KYB's.

    Would the Rio front struts be valved stiffer than the Festiva units?

    I have looked and physically they are the same (I did not measure the top shaft mount diameter though) but wondered if they would be slightly stiffer since they are for a heavier car.

    Since mine is getting the B6T and G series, there is a bunch more weight up front.

    And Just Suspension is having a $30 rebate on a set btw.

    I would think that the rio's would be valved stiffer due to the heavier weight.

      I ordered from Just suspension and it took a couple months and payment stops on my credit card before I received anything. Then I started receiving parts alittle at a time, took another month before I got all my parts. When I called to complain and try to cancel my order they told me I couldn't cancel it (even though nothing had shipped) they said I would have to retirn items once I received them. I would be refunded minus shipping and return shipping. I WOULD NOT DEAL WITH THEM EVER. Summit racing has the same prices on the same parts.

          My local Carquest sells KYB struts and shocks. Might want to check with them if theres one in your area.
