Fluid or Gas Type?

[1D4LV]

Tsikoteers, ask ko lang kung ano mai-recommend nyo na magandang shock absorbers for 96 corolla xl, and which is better fluid or gas type? Thanks.

these things were discussed already here in the forums, but for your benefit:

FLUID SHOCKS

a) comfortable smooth ride just like OEM

GAS SHOCKS

a) more stiffer ride than fluids
b) more durable than fluids

If your car is purely stock, then fluids would go fine. But if you have plans to alter your suspension (e.g. lowered look), then gas would be feasible.

If your car mostly goes on full load, GAS is more ok.

And yes, they almost cost the same. So if durability is an issue, go for GAS.
