We brought in a set of kg/mm's for a buddy's accord in town here. Apparently they are the #1 suspension manufacturer in Japan. Very nice looking product, not sure how they perform yet.

from what i know...kg/mm is crazy jdm shit. apparently they make lots of suspension components for my car and i plan on doing my entire suspension over the winter, so i want to see what they actually offer. it looks like they have a few kits for my car, springs, shocks....but i need everything else like bushings, bars, stuff to keep the lowering from messing up my susp. geometry.

Talk to nismos14, he's the one that sourced the last set we got. You should see them in person:drool: Fucking amazing product!!! Just an idea, the same order i got my tanabe sustec pro's, those kg/mm's, the sideskirts for darkknight's silvia, a bunch of electronics and other shit too.

for the S21 series there is
http://www.kgm.co.jp/catalogue/s21/s21-toyota/LEVIN-TRUENO.gif
the left colomn is sport, middle is supersport, and right column is racing

the column lists kg/mm, freelength (i dont really know what it means in japanese and english_ and the price (yen)


kg/mm damper kit
http://www.kgm.co.jp/catalogue/damperkit/dam-toyota/LEVIN_TRUENO_2.gif

the column that lists the alphabets like D, E etc is what it looks like which refers to the bottom diagrams
http://www.kgm.co.jp/img/products/damperkit/absorber-A.gifhttp://www.kgm.co.jp/img/products/damperkit/absorber-B.gifhttp://www.kgm.co.jp/img/products/damperkit/absorber-C.gifhttp://www.kgm.co.jp/img/products/damperkit/absorber-D.gifhttp://www.kgm.co.jp/img/products/damperkit/absorber-E.gif

the first price is for the damper kit
the second column price is from the absorber

FS damper
http://www.kgm.co.jp/catalogue/fs-damper/fs-toyota/AE86.gif
the price beside KIT is for the whole package and the one on the right is individual price
the right column that says front Y26,000 estimate. says pilo-upper so im thinking something like a upper pillow joint or something like that. correct me if im wrong
oh yah and the writing in the blue box just says spring rate


DR21 series
http://www.kgm.co.jp/catalogue/dr21/dr21-toyota/LEVIN-TRUENO.gif

:werd: A&J is a kickass place, my cousin had some work done on his Type-S there. Top notch.

I'd help you with the Japanese cuz I can read it all, but it doesn't mean I can translate it all though...
