could someone please tell me who makes the stock suspension for fcs? i was looking at a junkyard vert today and the shocks had tokico engraved in it...is that who makes the stock struts? its up on a rack so i couldnt get a look on top to see if it was afermarket or not. im not real familiar with the suspension side of cars yet as ive never replaced any on cars ive owned.

thanks

I just looked at a stock strut out of an 87 TII and it had KYB on it.

the yard car was an 88 i wonder if that makes a difference

Tokico is an excellent aftermarket shock-absorber, if you could get those for a good price you wouldnt regret it.

goblues24

so tokico never manufactured stock shocks on rx7s?

Kim

Hell I dont know, i just know that they make nice aftermarket shocks

when i was removing my stock shocks they also had KYB engraved on it

I believe my struts have Tokico stamped in them. Both the OEM AAS ones I took off and the New AAS ones I bought from MAZDA to put on.

MAZDA makes cars not struts.

The stock original factory non-AAS shocks/struts are KYB and, at least on my 87 GXL, black in color. I've seen MANY cars in junkyards with blue shocks/struts. I think, but I'm not sure, that these are a common repacement. But from who?
It makes sense that Tokico made the AAS stuff.
I think Mazdatrix sells the factory type KYBs.
