April 2004

Kayaba has launched its new catalogue for 2004 - a complete guide with full details of all KYB branded shock absorbers, protection and suspension mounting kits.

The glossy, 362 page, catalogue contains useful descriptions of Kayaba’s shock absorbers together with colour illustrations and cut away diagrams. It includes applications for cars, car derived vans (CDVs) and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) from nearly 70 manufacturers, all listed alphabetically, making it one of the most comprehensive and user friendly suspension component catalogues in the aftermarket.

There are 270 new references for 2004 including the BMW Z3, Citroën Xsara Picasso, Fiat Stilo, Toyota Yaris and the Vauxhall/Opel Zafira.

The catalogue features all five ranges of Kayaba shock absorbers - Premium, Excel G, Gas-a-Just, Ultra SR and the recently launched AGX, which is designed for high performance and sports vehicles. AGX is a fully adjustable shock absorber, allowing drivers to control the suspension set up of their cars without the need for tools, and offers up to eight different damping characteristics from soft to firm. The range of AGX vehicle applications has doubled in size for 2004. (Visit www.kybsport.com).

An informative introduction explains the functions and safety aspects of shock absorbers, and includes a ‘quick check’ list of questions designed to determine when replacement shock absorbers are needed. Also featured are technical guidelines for the disposal of defective shocks and fitting kits.

Kayaba's recent expansion in Europe - which includes a new headquarters and logistics centre in Germany, and new branches in Italy and Spain - is reflected in this European catalogue with versions available in most European languages.
