I've installed them on my '85. The ride is nicely controlled without being harsh. Speed bumps are absorbed well without bottoming out -- at times I don't even slow down for them. The famous Detroit potholes do not upset the Westy much. I would like a little less nose dive under hard braking. I've put about 10K on mine and overall I am satisfied with them considering the reasonable price. Chris, '85 Westy. -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Mike Hugill Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 1:53 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: KYB shocks
