GAB - parts and tech from japan? no comnment.2. HWL leaking? APMs oso leak. RGs oso leak. RM3k HBs oso leak. Konis oso leak. it depends wat you use them for i suppose. one fact you should know: HWL sponsors more local offroad rally cars (!) then any other manufacturer. 3. Teins can be reserviced. by who? HWL lar!! and reservicing teins aint cheap ok. they can cost the same as a brand new set of shocks! you can ask N1 to reservice them teins since they are the authorised distributors. but pls do ask abt the price and lead time. you may not like wat u hear.4. monotubes were made first. then they had a lot of noise problems. monotubes are like that. need very precise parts. so they opted for twintubes. cheaper to make. and they also made the damping less stiff. good or bad? depends whether you like soft or hard la.5. RGs are NOT made in the same factory. if you call the number in the press ads, you will know. stop listening to salesmen. find out for yourself!!. 6. Ditto. if you dun trust the brand, dun buy the shock.7. no comment on how hard they are. 8. Titans are great if you can afford them. but pay a bit more and you can get brand new teins...hahahaam i confusing you yet? sorry. lets put it this way. dun listen to sales men. listen to friends who have used the shocks, not heard abt them sum where or read it sumwhere. go find out for yourself abt the different brands and who makes them. you can call the manufacturers up and talk to a tech person. if the tech person is not available, then you know how these guys work. also be aware of why certain ppl choose certain brands and slag off other brands. and why certain brands go racing and others dont. and why would someone sell a perfectly good set of coilovers cheap to you for half the price? must be something wrong, rite?and of the day, choose one. use it, and learn from the experience. i have met someon who have claimed to have used 6-7 different types of japanese shocks and made judgements on all of them. when i asked him..hey..you musta spent a fortune on suspension. you can buy a damn car with the amount of money you spent!! oo...i dint really buy them. some were test rides on friends cars, and some were used shocks from forummers or chop shops. it was obvious that i stopped listening to this fellow soon after. come on..,you cant base ur findings on hand me down stuff and 5 minute rides!!! just buy something, use it. then you will know what you want later on. its part of the journey of customising your car.</blockquote>
