Stock Shocks Replacement Options

[Al123]

I have bought rear shocks for I-Miev on Amayama. It was cheaper than from the dealer.
My I-Miev is 2012. I have emailed Amayama the part number I took from the old shocks,
they replied with a quote, I have paid them, and they have shipped me new shocks.

My Ion has done 57k miles now and compared to when I bought it at 28k miles the shock absorbers are feeling decidedly "non-optimal", in that the car bounces and oscillates a lot more than it used to. It used to be firm but fairly well damped.

Looks like replacements are hard to come by though....

KYB started to produce rear shock absorbers for I-Miev. Part number is KSF1404.
Also I-Mievs rear shock absorbers looks exactly like shock absorbers from Mitsubishi Pajero Pinin, one of the most popular part number is KYB343408.
My rear shock absorbers are dead, so I ordered those ones from Pajero and I will try them on I-Miev.

I got Pajero shock absorbers from partsouq.com and installed them. Price is $26 for two and shipping is $44.
