172 new rear shocks, standard or.....?

[beatjunkie]

Ok my 172 is on sportlines and I think the rear shocks are worn out, what do people generally replace these with?

Are KYB any good?

 

[Adam G]

OEM standard or Cup are direct replacement on 172s

 

[beatjunkie]

Are cup ones better? stiffer id presume?

 

[skydiver]

Yeap are stiffer than 172 non cup.

What's stiffer, 182 cup pack or 172 cup rear shocks?

 

[Adam G]

I'd guess they are similar but they aren't interchangeable as they have different bolt spacing.

^rears are

 

[Adam G]

OOOpppps didn't think about that lol.

172 cup and non cup rears are the same
