Default Some New Toys! (Part II)

After reading AdamITR's post about his new toy:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=118944
I decided to take some pics of mine.

KYB super function. Height adjustable. Stroke adjustable. 45mm diameter body. Front 18K, rear 12K progressive. I also got some Skunk2 front camber kit.

Sorry pics are a bit blurry... I would try to retake some pics tonight and re-post them later.

I would defintely take better pics tonight and repost.

If you think of any specific part you want to see, let me know. I would take a big head shot out of that part.

I got them when I was in Asia for my xmas vacation. I bought them from a shop in Hong Kong and carried them back to the States in my luggages. Besides suspension, I also got a slightly used JDM size 5-Zigen 4-2-1 SS header for really cheap.

Lucky enough, the customs didn't think that I was trying to check in luggages with bazooka in them.

Are you sure these are 45mm piston ? I just wonder , cuz I have seen the KYB Aluminum coil-overs during x-mas at my friend's shop Kayaba Shop HK and they look quite different. How do you adjust the stroke ? No offence , just wonder....

That shop is called Kayaba. It's in Mongkok right by the Mongkok police station. If you need complete address I can get it for you.

The retail price of it is a little less than $1000US. That includes the shocks and springs, but no upper mount. If you need higher K springs, or progressive, that would be extra, but not much.

Hi AJ, I know which one you are talking about. That one is called Super Special Gymkhana Double Adjust. It is double adjustable (bound/rebound), with 48mm or 50mm (?) piston, and height adjustable without shortening the stroke (separate set of threads at the base). It also costs twice as much as the regular Super Special Gymkhana (steel body)...... couldn't afford it.
Also, when I was there last December, the application for DC2 was still not available yet.

The stroke adjustment is on the top. I can use the key that comes with it or just a screwdriver to choose from 1 to 4.
