“The demand for new KYB numbers is incredibly high as some motorists want to immediately upgrade the performance of their vehicle’s suspension, while others demand an OE-type product specifically designed to restore handling and control.” commented KYB Vice President Mike Fiorito. Fiorito went on to add, “As the world’s largest supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufactures we are fortunate that we have the engineering capabilities to develop and release new part numbers quickly,” “By offering our distribution partners more applications, they can meet the demands of their service provider customers and gain additional sales.”
