just put new kyb's all around the 2002 sc430. different car today than a week ago. all were bad and if you are fairly mechanical its doable more apprehension than needed before the job. its prob a day or weekend deal if you stay with it. used threads on this forum as guidance.

if you haven't done the steering rack bushing mod you are going to be very surprised by the results. after doing this mod its a must do. the response and sharpness added at the steering wheel will put a smile on your face. its been stated it takes an hour plan on two unless you've done it before. again used the gs forum as a guide for this.

as for those wondering about rear kyb fit the 341267 works with about 1 1/4 in. less travel no issues so far with bottoming out and pretty sure it would have already shown up.

 

Thanks razorlex, good to know.

 

You'll need to cut about 1/4 - 3/8 of the top of the piston rod as well or it'll hit the linen.
Yes, it works. I have them installed for about 1 1/2year before switching to coilovers to lower the car about 1in.
Figs/SuperPro poly bushing for steering rack is recommended.

 

used the figs on the rack also bought new sway bushings but after checking what was in vs what was purchased (not figs) the new ones were softer than what was in the car. they could have been changed out formerly.

on the rear shocks just used the easy way out on the trunk and cut a hole will put a cover on when a suitable is found.
