Product Group: Car Torque
Product Category: Shockers
Product Name: KYB - Shockers
Product Code: KYBS
Short Description: KYB make a wide range of sport shocks for Australian and Imported cars, famous in Japan and America for their AGX Series of adjustable shocks and struts, their Australian range compliments that with AGX for performance cars, and Excel-G Gas charged for family and small cars.

KYB - RANGE & QUALITY
One of the worlds leading Hydraulic specialists KYB produce dampers for everything from the landing gear of a Jumbo Jet to the smallest and most precise dampers required for robot automation. KYB uses its innovative design and advanced engineering to produce state-of-the-art shocks and struts that are recognized worldwide for their proven reliability and superior ride control. There is no comparison when it comes to KYB and other shocks and struts. Unlike other manufacturers, KYB inspects the quality of each and every part. That means fewer comebacks, more satisfied customers and a warranty rate that averages less than one percent.
KYB is the world.s largest supplier of shocks and struts to vehicle manufacturers. KYB produces a variety of ride control products for use as original equipment and replacement parts in automobiles, motorcycles, light trucks, buses, rolling stock and industrial applications.

KYB - AGX SPORT ADJUSTABLE
Built with the advanced engineering and exceptional quality you'd expect from KYB, AGX lets the driver tune their shocks to match driving conditions in seconds.

Fast on car adjustment: No need to remove from the vehicle or remove anything to change settings. Damping rate is selected with an external knob on the shock body or a screw driver slot at the top of the piston rod, depending on the model.
Adjustable damping allows one shock to meet all conditions: Strip, Cruising, High Speed Touring, Street and Track.

The single damping adjustment on the AGX Shock changes both the rebound and compression strokes. Depending on the model, there are either four or eight stages of adjustment.
In addition to manually adjustable damping settings, AGX features 3-stage, real-time, auto adjusting damping.
When driving on a smooth surface, shock movements are relatively slow and the AGX valving allows the shock to travel freely. As road conditions get rougher, the shock is compressed faster. AGX responds instantly to make response firmer, maintaining tyre contact and vehicle control.

This 3 stage valve action allows AGX Shocks to adjust to road conditions automatically.
The AGX range gives the driver the ultimate control, whether at the track or on the road.

Excel-G Gas Replacement Strut - 330000 Series

The best choice to replace your MacPherson Strut to ensure comfort and a steady ride. If your car has non-rebuildable struts that are worn, replacing them with KYB gas replacement struts will give you the benefits of excellent road control and the superb handling response only gas can give.
Outstanding features include:
  • Multi-lip oil seal extends life.
  • Teflon coated bushing reduces wear.
  • Hard chromed piston rod reduces friction.
  • Pressurized nitrogen gas reduces foaming and aeration dramatically for better performance.
  • Rebound cushion prolongs life.
  • All-weather fluid.
  • Wear resistant piston ring reduces leakage.
  • Compression valve self-adjusts for fast recovery.

    GAS-A-JUST Shock Absorbers (Mono-Tube) - 550000 Series

    The new concept in ride stability means more driving pleasure.
    Top quality, automatically adjusting and double-action, the basic secret's the combination of highly-pressurized nitrogen and an all-weather fluid. This helps minimalize bounce and sway to deliver more comfortable rides. Less bounce and sway improves steering and cornering. In addition, top road contact means less wear on parts, tyres. These features magnify in importance for vehicles with radial tyres or those driven extensively, for sports car and performance buffs.
    Outstanding features include:
  • Breakage is reduced by seamless eye ring mountings.
  • Oil is kept in, dirt is kept out by a multi-lip seal.
  • Rubber cushion protect shock inside on extreme extension strokes.
  • Hard-chromed piston rod to reduce friction, minimizes friction.
  • Constant performance from wear resistant piston ring.
  • Large diameter seamless steel cylinders resist splitting.
  • Single tube design reduces heat build-up.
  • Both the extension and compression valves are located in piston for quick response to forces in either direction.
  • Provides consistent control regardless of temperature because the all weather fluid remains near constant viscosity.
  • Gas and fluid are completely seperated by a floating dividing piston featuring special patented O-ring design.
  • Nitrogen gas keeps all-weather fluid under constant high pressure, preventing foaming and aeration.

    SKORCHED 4'S Made to be punished! Made to last
    Australians love to explore the great outdoors and there’s no better way than in a 4WD fitted with KYB Scorched4 shock absorbers. KYB have specifically engineered the Scorched4 to provide superior handling & control when off road while maintaining excellent on road performance. The KYB Scorched4 is ideally suited to 4WD touring in Australian conditions for standard and up to 50mm lifted vehicles.
    4WD touring shock absorbers must deliver precise control over rough terrain. They must continue to work in high temperatures over miles of corrugations and for prolonged periods.

    Off-road touring conditions create high-speed shock movement. This rapid movement generates considerable heat which can quickly render a sub-standard shock absorber ineffective. Typical 4WD touring such as towing, travelling on unmade or uneven roads and driving for prolonged periods compounds the problem.

    Off-road touring conditions create high-speed shock movement. This rapid movement generates considerable heat which can quickly render a sub-standard shock absorber ineffective. Typical 4WD touring such as towing, travelling on unmade or uneven roads and driving for prolonged periods compounds the problem.

    KYB’s Skorched4’s are accurately valved to control springs under offroad conditions, minimising unnecessary movement and providing the driver with sure-footed control. KYB employ a four-step top seal to keep dirt and other foreign matter out, and the oil in. KYB also maximise oil volume in the cylinder through the use of a 16mm piston rod. Greater oil volume results in slower heat build up thereby extending shock absorber life.


    Premium Oil Shock Absorbers - 440000 Series
    Superior performance, fully selfadjusting and technically advanced, incorporating many technical benfits to give a long service life. These Shock Absorbers satisfy most demanding drivers. Fully self adjusting, they incorporate many features that improve performance and prolong the life of the Shock Absorber. Some of these benefits are constructional features that reduce breakage and leaks, reduce friction and wear and tear. A wear resistant piston ring helps improve performance.
    Outstanding features include:
  • Breakage is reduced by seamless eye ring mountings..
  • Oil is kept in, dirt is kept out by a multi-lip seal.
  • Less friction and longer life is the result of a hard chromed piston rod.
  • Double action design of three stage rebound valve.
  • Wear resistant piston ring.
  • Three stage compression valve is self-adjusting with full double action for fast recovery.
