KYB SPRINGS
INTO GEAR
As the season for suspension parts arrives and the range
of KYB products expands at FPS, KYB explain why they’re
the best choice to grow your sales in 2019.
Between the state of the roads and freezing
temperatures, the British winter will continue
to claim plenty of suspension parts over the
coming months. With a rise in sales inevitable,
are you ready to seize this opportunity?
To enable you to be as prepared as can
be, FPS have expanded their range of
KYB products to incorporate coil springs,
suspension mounting kits, and protection
kits, in addition to the existing shock absorber
range. KYB is proud to excel on multiple
fronts – quality, range, and cataloguing, as
they discuss with Vital News.
Europe. By manufacturing over 1 million
shock absorbers every week, their availability
is unparalleled. Even at these volumes,
quality isn’t lacking. Despite offering a two
year warranty on their components, the
KYB warranty rate is under 0.2% - evidence
that workshops can fit and forget with KYB
products.
NOTHING BUT THE BEST
Having been at the forefront of automotive
suspension for over 80 years, KYB is the UK
market-leading supplier of shock absorbers
and coil springs. The same high-quality
precision engineering demanded by the
world’s vehicle manufacturers, including
BMW, Audi, Nissan and Toyota, is found in
all KYB products, which is why 1 in 5 cars
worldwide are fitted with KYB parts as OE.
The KYB production facility in Japan is
the world’s largest shock absorber factory,
supporting four other KYB factories in
KYB also has Europe’s largest range of
suspension mounting kits and protection
kits - giving you the best possible opportunity
of supplying a complete strut assembly.
These offer an upsell opportunity since
they are often perceived as a dealer only
part and motorists are often unaware that
motor factors sell them. As with any rubber
product, they perish over time and so should
be replaced at the same time as the shock
absorbers.
A harsh winter can severely damage the UK’s road network – and vehicle suspension systems
