JAPANESE automotive parts company KYB, known for shock absorbers, has added the New SR Special to its product lineup in the Philippines. The newly introduced shock absorber promises to retain the comfortable ride of stock vehicles even as it improves the damping characteristics of their suspension systems, according to Massiveparts, Inc., KYB distributor in the Philippines.
The company explained the New SR Special, which can replace shock absorbers fitted to vehicles when these leave the factory, has different viscosity levels that are 50% heavier on the compression/bumping stroke and 80% heavier on the rebound/extension stroke when compared against standard shock absorbers. This, Massiveparts said, lead to better handling qualities that do not compromise ride quality in the process.
“The New SR Special shock absorber fits most sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs and tuned cars made by brands like Subaru, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Ford and Suzuki,” said Gen Leong, marketing manager at Massiveparts. “It is perfect for those who would like to upgrade their daily drive.”
