Question about sphere makers

Unread post by ivancro96 »

So I need to replace my front two suspension spheres on my 2012 C5, does anyone have any info about 'KYB' spheres? Or is it better to buy fully original and be safe?

Originals are best of course as you'll be getting OEM quality and they will last for years. It all depends on your budget though.

That I am aware of, these Kayaba or KYB ones are 90€ a piece. No idea about OEM prices however

I can only see KYB struts (for metallically sprung Citroens, not Hydractive), no spheres. Do you have a link?

https://kyb-europe.com/ don't have any spheres that I can see....

Yes, there was miscommunication.

However, I see some IFHS spheres, do you know anything about those? Apparently making them since 1984, seems kind of legit company.

Still am waiting from a OEM store for the price of original ones, but am wondering if a alternative is good too.

Personally, I would only purchase original spheres, but that is my own opinion.

That seems to be the safest and most logical option, I will probably get those.
