Bilstein Shocks For most vehicles including full-size sedans, wagons and most trucks, these shocks provide improved handling and stability without sacrificing ride comfort.Their superior damping ability makes them ideal for heavy hauling or occasional off road use --- while still maintaining an exceptional street ride. As with all Bilstein shocks, these shocks instantaneously self-adjust to changing road surfaces. In addition, their performance does not gradually decline from age, use or heat --- requiring no compensating manual adjustments as with conventional multi-tube shocks.
Bilstein shock absorbers, the performance minded driver, Bilstein SPORT SHOCKS deliver absolute mastery of the mad surface. Designed to push a cars suspension to its performance peak, these super-firm shocks are well suited for use with special springs, anti-sway bars or other suspension upgrades. As with other Bilstein shocks, SPORT SHOCKS are uniquely self-adjusting.
The Eibach Pro-Kit has been designed to perform well in conjunction with Original Equipment Dampers as well as other aftermarket Performance Dampers. Both of these dampers were designed around the original equipment springs and while they add a level of performance to the vehicles suspension, additional performance can be obtained with a damper tuned specifically to match the characteristics of the Pro-Kit.The engineers at Eibach based their development of the Pro-Damper solely around the unique characteristics of the Eibach Pro-Kit allowing the vehicle to take full advantage of the increased spring rate and vehicles new lower center of gravity. The result is additional performance throughout the entire working range of the suspension. The development starts with an Aftermarket Sport Performance Damper which is then tested and modified in conjunction with the manufacturers proprietary components. Once the Eibach Engineers finalize their development, the new characteristics are incorporated into an exclusive production series by the original manufacturer.
KYB GR-2 Premium Shocks and Struts are specially designed to provide a smooth, secure ride with excellent control for drivers who are looking for ride comfort and improved handling. With its patented check valve, the KYB GR-2® Premium Shocks and Struts always maintain excellent performance under even the roughest conditions. It also provides comfort and control that is often better than original equipment. KYB GR-2® Premium Shocks and Struts are available for virtually all vehicles on the road today.
KYB Gas A Just shocks High Performance Shocks designed to deliver maximum driving control, KYBs Gas-a-Just® High Performance Shocks provide a high performance ride. Gas-a-Just High Performance shocks higher gas pressure keeps tires glued to the road while its superior strength monotube design with floating piston makes for fade-free performance and the seamless cylinders and eye rings provide durability. The Gas-a-Just High Performance Shocks offer a wide range of applications including RVs and motor homes.
KYB AGX Sport Adjustable Shocks and Struts allow drivers to adjust dampening to match specific driving conditions quickly. The AGX Sport Adjustable Shocks and Struts have manual four or eight stage adjustable dampening which makes it completely on-the-car adjustable within minutes. With its competition grade engineering and construction, AGX® Sport Adjustable Shocks and Struts are perfect for sport enthusiasts and high performance drivers.
KYB strut mounts and boots feature construction and fit that meets or exceeds original equipment specifications and are available for both domestic and import vehicles. Strut mounts play a vital role in improving the vehicles handling, ride control, alignment, braking, and steering and KYB strut mounts and boots are an integral part of proper strut service. They improve the quality of the installation while extending the life of the strut and enhancing the safety and performance of your vehicle

Tokico non adjustable shocks & struts.
Conventional shock absorbers are among the simplest and oldest of shock designs. They are common on many trucks, older cars, and a few newer cars. They are also one of the least expensive shocks.
Struts are units that combine the shock absorber with a stressed part of the suspension. The struts allows auto manufacturers to eliminate the upper control arm and upper ball joint. They use a large diameter piston rod and are quite a bit larger and heavier than conventional shock absorbers. Most struts also combine the lower spring perch or seat into their construction.
Strut cartridges were developed as replacements for rebuildable struts. While they are still being used, most newer cars use what are called sealed or non-rebuildable struts.

Spring seat, coilover, and coil-around are all terms used to describe this shock absorber. While they look like struts, they are actually shock absorbers with spring seats mounted on the body. They are not only smaller than struts overall, their piston rods are 25% to 60% smaller than struts.
The new TREK MASTER R/T shock absorbers by TOKICO use the latest technology to attack the problems of proper damping control on trucks and SUVS.
The TREK MASTER combines TOKICOs multi-stage variable-aperture piston and sandwich valve system, with a new base valve design that provides a 4-stage dual blow-off compression cycle. What all of that means is, the TREK MASTER can provide a level of handling, traction, and ride quality unmatched by other shock absorbers. In addition to the very sophisticated damping system, TREK MASTER shocks feature a low mechanical drag rod guide and piston seal design. The result is a shock with as much as 65% less mechanical drag than other shocks. Smooth operation and long life are among the benefits
The sophisticated oil-flow management system offers the capability to provide:
Tokico Illumina adjustable shocks and struts were designed for tuning street suspensions.
For the serious enthusiast, TOKICO offers 5-position adjustable shocks and struts called Illumina. The adjustment system provides you with the ability to set your car up for a variety of uses.
Even so, some units work quite well on the race track. Steeda, a well known Mustang tuner, has used Illumina adjustables very effectively on both their road race and their drag race cars. The Illumina units not only work well, but Steeda people have been very pleased with their durability.
A simple click of a screwdriver allows you to change for ride or handling balance. So whether you are going to the track, or simply cruising, the Illumina range of adjustment can adapt to your needs.
Drag racing requires different suspension settings than road racing. This is especially true for rear wheel drive cars. With the popularity of Mustang drag racing, TOKICO has developed a street/strip system of Illumina adjustable shocks and struts specifically for Mustang drag racing. 100 percent drag race shocks are very dangerous on the street. TOKICO shocks and struts allow you to race at the strip and drive your Mustang home in a safe and secure manner.
The Tokico D-Spec (dampeing specific) is a new extra-wide range adjustable damping system by Tokico. The extra-wide range makes it possible to use D-Spec for street, auto cross, drag racing.
The capability of the D-Spec 16-way adjustable damper to be such a multi-use product, results from a sophisticated piston and valving design, combined with a unique variable-aperture bypass controlled by an adjustable slide valve. D-Spec adjustments change both rebound and compression damping simultaneously. Between the hard and soft settings, the D-Spec is infinitely adjustable.
Each set includes a manual giving pointers on how to adjust the D-Spec as well as various suspension tuning tips.
