kilauea 7 Posted January 8, 2008 KYB brings up no results in search on here - surely somebody has had these on their 205 by now? I ask as I need to replace all 4 dampers and have ran KYB Excel-G (Non-adjust) on my mx5 for a year now and have found them to be brilliant on that car. So given the cost - £160 inc VAT for 4 dampers - I figured they must be worth a shot on my 205. Has anyone tried them?.. Ta' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 3 Posted January 8, 2008 Just fitted some KYB AGX adjustables to the rear of mine after having gti-6 dampers on for the last year. Well impressed with them for the price (£87 delivered) got them set on 6 out of 8 which gives a nice firm well damped ride. Well worth the money in my opinion.

kilauea 7 Posted January 8, 2008 Cheers Nick. I will probably be going for the non-adjusters (Excel-G) which if they are anything like the ones on my mazda will be just slightly stiffer than standard. I don't want rock-hard suspension as the roads I will drive most frequently are full of holes. Maybe I will be the guinea pig for the Excel-G''s! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 3 Posted January 8, 2008 You wouldn't be disappointed with the ride on the adjustables, way, way better than std or the gti-6 items, just nicely damped but not harsh. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted January 9, 2008 I dont remember the name but I fitted some of the gold coloured non adjustable ones to a mates 205 with some SBC springs and they were pretty good IMO. (just looked them up and they are called KYB Ultra SR - http://www.kybsport.com/ultrasr.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C_W 3 1 Cars Posted January 9, 2008 The UltraSR are quite a stiff non-adjustable shock; I had some of those on my BMW for a bit. The adjustable AGX shocks sound interesting though for the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
