Strut decision???

[MazdaRider]

Bought some new drop springs now need struts to complete them question is
Do I go with kyb or tokico
Or is their any options that might be best
Any thoughts?

Personally out of the two I greatly favor the KYB's. The Tokiko's used to have a really bad rep, but have gotten better. Riding in both, I still favor the KYB's.

Are the kyb's stiffer then the tokico's
Is that why

I have replaced my factory ones (KYB's) with KYB's from rockauto. They are stiff just like factory.

KYB all the way. Lifetime warranty, if you keep the receipt, and go through the same retailer.

I have the "famous blue" Tokico life time warranty. to me they drive amazing not to stiff not to loose. but we all have our own favs.

From experience, KYB all the way! Had a set of tokico's, at the time I thought they were awesome, since 3 of the struts that came on the car were blown... after a couple years the tokico's were dead and now I have KYB. I couldn't tell ya if there was a difference in the firmness of the ride (since I swapped springs before the KYB) but I do think these KYB struts are better made..... just an opinion hope it helps. KYB is cheaper too, check out rockauto.com

I would have to agree with the price. to be completely honest in the ride of them I didn't find to much of a difference, I had KYB in the winter mx3. and I have TOK in the summer. But like you said its an opinion. Opinions are like a-- Hol*s everyone has one

I bought kyb struts to fit with eibach drop springs, satisfied but problems aren t about it !
As i said in another topic, think about camber plates ... i changed kyb's camber plate twice in 20 000 kms ...
