Replacement shockers for a RX turbo

Post by colwyn » Fri Nov 30, 2007 12:39 pm

My rx shocks are U/S and i'm looking at replacing them with a tougher set, the sorta suspension that allows you to go over big logs at 80k's or speed humps (my standard test)

My prev RX handled it at 80kph my current one i can barley go 40kph.

Any advice don't want to spend a fortune

Happy for a s/h set if someone belives there much better than a old orginal suby set

lol thats like $600 for 2 that still need to be fixed

I was thinking more on some advise re a good aftermarket HD replacement for the suby's ie for a nonsence example Monro Rd23 HD strut and HD springs.

KYB, got them in the RX like the dampening rate but i feel i need firmer springs. I think the struts where about $200ish new
