yeah fellas,

looking desperately for evo 1 2 3 shocks... can anyone help point to a place that i can get a pair? i have bought two sets of wrong shocks in the process (sad story) and the idea that i'm getting from ppl in the bamboo is that it's near impossible to find?

help.

You can cross reference OEM part numbers from your shocks - got it sorted, and got OEM KYB excel-g's. They seem to share the same part number and damper rate as the CK/CS lancers - clever Japanese.

Evo1 and CD GSR KYB part numbers are:

334072/73 Front left and Right.

I'm a 100% sure that this will work on both these models, NOT on the CE9A Evos and later model GSRs because of the ARB fitting that needs to be on the damper. Please use the OEM part number on your shock to cross reference with KYB in the future.

hope mods leave this post around for future ref.

^^^ Look out for the Moderators. There was a set in the classified section recently. Also I know someone who brought in a shell that supposed to be scrapped (I won't be surprized if it endz up on the road whole though). I'll ask him. Peace.

Change the topic and some of the body and we'll make this technical for anyone trying to get them.

Original part numbers

CD9A (a.k.a E 1 - 2)

Front
L - MR131791 (CB MIVEC compatible)
R - MR131792 (CB MIVEC compatible)

Rear

L & R - MB914897 (CB MIVEC, CB GSR compatible)


CE9A (a.k.a E 3)

(Later Model) L - MR197259

(Early Model) R - MR171048
(Later Model) R - MR197260

Evo 3 (CE9A) suspension not compatible with GSR or MIVEC. Do a search online and try your luck.

funny you post this:

i actually bought the KYB GR2's for the mivec/CB and it does not actually work.

the spring is larger in diameter on the Evo 1 2 3 - btw CE9A for 2 & 3 both with the ARB fitting on shock.

OEM from new cost $5500 TTD before shipping :/

KYB old part numbers for CD9A and CB5A were 333124/5 before they stopped making it.

all this knowledge, and i'm still without shocks...

Buy a set a coilovers nah meng??? If you can get them!

^^ i wish man, but i've got enough payments to make monthly (mortgage) as it is... just not viable.

The CE9A shocks are different to the CD9A. The MIVEC won't work for that. Is it an evo 3?

gimme the chass #

it's an Evo 1 - is it that the spring is different on the e2 and e3?

the diameter of an evo 1 spring is almost 7.5 inches... i expected an e2 and e3 suspension to work albeit the ARB fitting on shock.

chassis code is CD9A (not cb3 bobol lawl)

CD9A CD5A CE9A

Spring (non ABS) MR103322

Spring (inc ABS) MR103323

All carry same spring but ABS/ non ABS may be the issue

the rears are different though. CD9A - MR130229 CE9A - MR198060

Part numbers are not the issue - oems are almost the same brand new as a coilover kit.

Just need a spare set used or whatever

I know some guys use kyb gr2s - 333318/19 but the spring seat is wayyyy off

Don't know how they get em to fit up?

these are what the shocks i got incorrectly, ie it does not share the same damper size as the ck mivec from 97-2002 (333318/9). this is what it looks like vs the oem:





hope this can be some help to ppl in the future. the spring seat is WAY off, also the height of the damper...

Congrats man...

Lemme add something for extra ref:
