Youll need to ask the shop to see if they got sell.. Many official website they just don't or couldn't update all of their product list.

i see, from what you explain here....i only drives on weekend, if im driving alone, the absorbers is ok

but when i drive with passengers on board, it somehow, still feels abit soft  sweat.gif

Usually is like that.. When with passengers springs will be more compressed.. Hence the need for harder spring to not feel soft.. Lowered spring is basically the same hardness but shorter.

i see...coz my usual foreman, he said the preve KYB absorber only have for exora only which is on the website la...he told me, shop probably sell it preve user as well, since it can be fitted, just that the stroke for front is abit different coz exora shock stroke is shorter hmm.gif

for comfort purpose kindly use original spring , previously i used GAB adjustable absorber plus GAB spring for my acv30 camry , then after few years decided changed back all to standard spring and absorber ( bought brand new ) .. then no problem for long distance driving

I wouldn't take the chance with using another car/model unless they are 100% the same if not it will give you lots of issues, but even if it is for your exact car doesn't mean it is made exactly the same as ORI.. Like my tein.. longer shaft, flat top not a cone for the bearing to sit and spring sit higher which causes the stabilizer link to be higher and make sound when going over bumps.

eibach got second hand value, cause of its price..But don't expect it to sell so fast..

almost went for adjustable, but then again, my car old already, the amount i paid for adjustable could easily spent on replacing all the undercarriage stuff sweat.gif

when you carry more load/ppl... pump more air !!!

should never need to change springs unless confirmed damaged...
