Good shocks/struts for Vitara V6 2004
« on: January 14, 2008, 09:25:07 AM »
I try to find shocks (for rear) and struts (for front) for my Vitara 2004 V6 and I just find KYB GR-2 (almost the same as OEM) or "no name" OEM replacement.

Does somebody know if a compagny (as Rancho) does "off-road" shocks for my truck?


Just to avoid confusion, my Vitara is not lifted.

Thanks

KYBs are best for stock app, unless you want to go Bilstein, which are WAY pricey.

There's nothing for Vitara/GV at Bilstein. :(

If this is the older GV (rear solid axle) then the Sidekick struts are the same.

Finally, I found something stiffer than stock unit.

With these units, front dives less at braking and the body rolls less at cornering.

OME suspension FTW: http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/kicksuspension.htm


Yes, I know that's Gen 1, but low-range carries the 2004 kit as well. They just don't have on the web site.
