Kyb Shocks For Sc300

[dtraci]

At 89000 miles I had my SC300 shocks (front and rear) replaced with KYB GR2's. The ride is totally different and very bouncy. It seems to handle better but the rough ride is way worse. Is there a potential problem?? Or do I just have to get used to them?

Thanks

bouncy yet rough? which is it?

[dtraci]

Well, it handles better, i.e. seems flater and more stable in turns. But normal driving over CA roads around my house are much "rougher."

My Tokico blues felt the same way at first, but after a few days of hard driving they seemed to break in and became softer. I know what you mean. The car almost gives you motion sickness after about 5 mins on the freeway, as every slight bump and elevation change transfers into a quick sharp bounce. I'm glad mine broke in so quick because I got to thinking, "How would I ever take the car long distance again... There was no way I could take it...lol" How long have you had these on.

I've had them less than a week with minimal driving. I hope you're right about them "breaking in".

Thanks

They'll break in and you'll also get used to them. They will be fine.
