finding KYB shock absorbers

[flateric]

Hi guys,

I'm having a VERY hard time finding the KYB shock absorbers. Camskill already removed them from the website and on ebay they only sell the front-right. The left ones are still advertised on ebay but out of stock..

Any ideas or alternatives ?

Thanks!

These guys stock them:

Not sure if the price is good tho.

Thanks a lot! i just sent them an email asking to check if they have them in stock. Price doesn't matter that much, i need it

They don't have them in stock either. phoned 5 different suppliers.. no go. I was told that the Volvo S40 Shocks are a direct replacement for the FTO.. anybody having experience ?

Volvo s40 shocks will fit calling them a direct replacement might be a bit far the 2 cars weigh different amounts with some s40s 200kg heavier than a gpx... I think arb mounting points are different that's easily sorted though

These should be easily found some lancer(Mivec and Gsr) colt (Mivec) mirage (vrx and Mivec) Fto share suspension components and have similar weights

Found another place that might sell them.

Part numbers are weird so try and get into contact with them first.
