Thoughts on Ebay suspension?

Post by Alex » Sun May 19, 2013 9:43 pm

Hi guys,

I'm still looking around for some new front struts for my liberty. Does anyone have experience with these?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sale-Front-p ... 75b&_uhb=1

They will be used with brand new low king springs which semi concerns me with cheaper shocks.

I've had some boge struts and kybs priced up too. Boge are supposedly a step up in quality from KYB

Cheers

Personally I'd stick with KYB.
But for the money, and that they have a 3yr warranty, they probably arent bad value

Hi Alex
You get what you pay for
The warranty is good but if you do need to claim you will have to send them by post to Sydney at your expense
That means you can't drive the car for a couple of weeks:cry:
