Which would be better?

[LanceDickchops]

I have a ba xr6T which needs rear shocks.

It has lowered Pedders Springs F&R but the Pedders rear shocks are rooted now. They always felt a bit soft & bouncy I thought.

I am not going Koni, sachs or Bilstein because they are overpriced in Australia.

Anyway, My choice is either kyb shocks or Ultima Short stroke shocks.

I know the quality of kyb and if they made a short stroke shock for the ba I wouldn't even be asking this question.

I know that Ultima are cheap entry level shocks but these big bore versions do have a shortened stroke which is what I need.

I have run standard height shocks in lowered cars before but I didn't get much life out of them, so maybe I would be just wasting my money installing kyb standards in this vehicle.

The Ultimas are about $120 bucks cheaper too.

What do you guys think?

I think you answered your own question

Yep Freaky, I guess I did answer my own question. So thanks to me for that.

Also the Ultimas have a 3 year 100,000k warranty period so I will give em a go at $105.00 each. I would hope that they will last for longer than I will have this vehicle so what have I got to loose?

I can't blame you. It's a good deal.
