I've replaced front pair, and rear shocks was ok. Shocks are replaed in pairs.

Yeah, had a visual inspection, bump test, and finally had a test run, most of them are negative. then lift the car and removed the shocks, boy they look nasty. After the replacement, got a really smooth drive and improved on control (mostly cornering as well.) Back shock pair was ok, so didn't replace them. Not sure, its ok to publish the place here, send me a DM so I can guide you to them. By the way I replaced KYB shocks, there are 3 types of them, KYB Malaysian, KYB Klassic, KYB Japanase. I purchased the Japanese one around 26k for both. And it was around 32k for all other parts, boots etc. Malysian one was around 4 thousand less.

Thanks for the replies, replaced shocks. Let me know if someone want to know the place.

Can someone recommend me a good shock absober testing place? One giving a report whether to replace. Also If they need replacement I'm hoping to buy from T**S, any other place you guys recommend? Car - Allion 260

Are those figures valid for the latest models such as 2014/2015/2016?

+1.. :)

Thanks to Yahapalana fellows, some hybrids which was sold for around 2.8mil.. now going around 4.0mil.. :speechless-smiley-004:

Yeah my bad.. I was referring to the old model.. Anyway it's not productive to argue with you, you'll use a vehicle as a play toy. seems like a real play boy. I gave my notion towards people who put 50,000 60,000 lease monthly and expect something in return when going to sell, at least closer to the buying price.

I am not a fan boy of it's generations.. What Im trying to say is still a hybrid is not suitable for a person who expect to sell it for a reasonable price after using it for 3-4 years. :( The money you are going to lose will depend on the tax hugely.. If there is no much increase of tax.. Then you'll probably going to lose some money.. So why are you such a fan boy of hybrids?.. fuel economy?.. environmental friendly? Other?..

Yeah, the middle one, thats what Im talking about.. I thought it's 1st gen.. anyway the depreciation is real.. :closedeyes:

He will be worshiping R couple for the tax increase... Otherwise a 2013 vehicle almost lost him a fortune.. Your Vios lost only 3.5 laks, if you sold it in the right time.. You won't lose that much and it should be later than 2007?.. Not bad for a 8 year old car comparing to a two year old car loss... Wonder what happen to the 7 million 2016 prius in 2020?.. If the R couple is there no worries.. :speechless-smiley-004:

You mean 1st gen users are the lab rats?.. Yeah maybe in 2016 model they have improved a lot.. but it's closer to 7 million is way too far unfair..

Nope I've seen what happened to 1st gen Prius, The struggle they gone through to sell them.. Can't even sell them to the value of bare metal.. OR else have to find a pulltalam donkey.. :sad-smiley-067: By the way the 1st gen hybrids have reached 7-8 year mark.. :music-smiley-019: P.S. I am not against the hybrids, It's the market + taxes made them this.. It's kind of a throw away vehicle..

So it's a genius to buy a hybrid? A 2012 Prius for 4.2 mil?.. :speechless-smiley-004: I bet if you buy a Prius and Allion today.. If you are going to sell them lets say in 2020.. Price for 2012 <<<<< Allion 260 lets say 2008 Model P.S. Of course you can't buy only looking for Internet advertisements..

The depreciation of hybrids is high considering to conventional.. So paying 4million hard earned money you have to think more.. :speechless-smiley-004: Why not go for a allion 260?.. you can buy a good conditioned one around 4 mil.. :sport-smiley-003:

How much it cost to tint front two windows + the back window, not th 3M just the normal tint. And it does reduce heat after tint right?.

Mark my word : Nothing happens if it goes to low as 10$, if it rises more than 50$ this time, definitely fuel prices will go up. :speechless-smiley-004: Everything done related to finance by Raina and Sukara has failed.. :sad-smiley-066:

No, actually the number of adds per day, I think reduced drastically. Maybe the uncertainty of price margins.

Oh is that the case. If its a high slope I use parking brake. not otherwise. :speechless-smiley-004: Anyway thanks for the tip..

Sure will post photos machan.. The thing is hard to find a better vehicle, and the price is like the body is made of platinum.. Car Market of Sri lanka is shit as hell.. When I was in US, drove a Dodge Charger 2014 price was around 15,000$

Yes I meant front pads and rear shoes. and my model has ABS. I am not a regular user of parking brake, when I stopped the vehicle I put into "P", that's it.. Will try the parking brake and the reverse thing and put the results here.

What do you mean by, you need to bleed the system?.. Need to refill brake oil to remove the air?..

Still the free movement of the pedal continues, after driven around 500km .. When braking 40/50kmh feel like Im not in full control of the vehicle.. Any good place "brake expert" which I can get help?.. Any recommended places around Colombo?..

I meant the travel distance for brakes to engage is like 0.5 to 1 inch. And when after a rapid brake the padel almost getting closer to the bottom edge.. Previously the travel distance is around 10mm as you've mentioned. I want to get it engaged by that traveling distance.

Checked this for a week, and seems like the oil level doesn't change. However will continue monitoring , BTW thanks everyone..
