What is the difference between KYB Blue and Yellow shocks?

[KinsleyLynn]

KYB Blue and Yellow shocks differ in their intended use and technical parameters. Below are the detailed explanations: Different Uses: KYB Blue shocks are typically used for vehicle modifications. They offer stiffer damping, providing sufficient support to the vehicle, effectively controlling body roll and enhancing handling performance. KYB Yellow shocks, on the other hand, are generally used as replacements for the original shocks. When the factory shocks are damaged, the Yellow shocks can serve as substitutes. Different Parameters: KYB Blue shocks are monotube dampers with a compression damping force that is 115% of the factory setting and a rebound damping force that is 125% of the factory setting. KYB Yellow shocks feature adjustable damping and are paired with shorter springs, allowing for a maximum reduction in vehicle height by 26mm.
