I'm still in the process of determining what all aftermarket changes are on
my son's 95 MTX.  The original owner liked his car enough to do a lot of the
BOS stuff (SHOShop Y-pipe, catback, CAI, 80mm MAF, whiteface gauges)
although in the short amount of time I had to buy the car I couldn't tell
what all was there, and the interim owner didn't have a lot of knowledge
about SHOs.  I just discovered the Y-pipe today.  Kinda neat to find these
little treasures.

Back to the subject.  I remember KYB struts being discussed a long time ago.
They have a gray casing. I assume these struts aren't in the same league as
Konis or Tokicos, right?  Anything I need to know about them?  My opinion is
that they're okay from driving around in the car.  I believe the suspension
is stock otherwise.  Given the car is still a mere pup in SHO years and
miles (68K miles), I don't have any reason to change the struts.

Thanks and Cheers,
Carl
