KYB or HPG

[Vipertonytro]

Hey does anyone know which shock is better. The HPG that comes on the SP model. Or the KYB that comes with the S36 front end kit?

The KYB's that come on the Summit X's are supposed to be the better shock. You can tear them down, revalve and rebuild them whereas the HPG's on the SP's you cannot.

Thanks Maxwell and MK4TDI. I think I just figured that out by looking at pics on "Lets see your XM". The KYB's were the X package shock. Still new to this whole DOO thing.
LOL!! I put the Shocks from my last years XM with 1400km on the old XP with the new S36 kit and the new shocks that came with the kit on last years XM SP.

Its funny that Doo doesn't tell you that the S36 conversion comes with the Xpackage shocks. Bonus for those who update!

ya i agree. and i cant believe its so cheap. if you price out those kybs separate they are like 400$ a peice.

Yeah if you ever bend one side you might as well buy the kit. Both A-arms shocks tie rods etc. then you have spares and cheaper than individual

^^ I think that's what I might be doing. Replaced a lower a-arm last year, and have a slight bend in an upper, so why not order the whole kit at some point.

the S-36 kit ?is that different than stock or identical .

 

[Vipertonytro]

Same as the 2011and up front end geometry. (I think year is correct). To top it off you need the new spindle and ski combination. Both S-36 and ski/spindle are sold as complete kits from Doo.
