KYB GR2....Opinons?
Okay,
I may be in the market for new shocks and struts seeing that I have well over 100K on my Tokico Blues. On eBay, I see I can get a set of KYB GR2's for right at $200 shipped.
Does anyone here have these, and have any feedback to offer? Can anyone offer a comparison to the Tokicos?
Thanks

Yeah, but the place where I bought mine has been acquired by another company, and does not have record of my purchase so I'm having trouble getting warranty replacement.

Tokicos have the same problems when using lowering springs, though they will last longer than KYBs
www.shox.com has about the cheapest prices around for Konis. Supposedly internetautomar gets his stock through them, but his prices are a little more. At one time there was a discussion about him trying to get a cheaper rate than shox.com

I had KYB GR-2's w/ SE springs in my 93 GXE and really liked them a lot. I don't have anything else to compare it to, but for a daily driver it handled pretty well and was still pretty comfortable.
If you REALLY want handling, trade in your max for an e30 (87-91) BMW 3-series. They are about the same price point as a 3rd gen these days and offere excellent handling and great aftermarket options as well. Since my max died in august, I am looking for an e30 replacement.

Not only tokico has lifetime warranty, koni and KYB both come with lifetime warranty also. My friend has KYB GR2s on his car and I think they're pretty decent, you feel every single bump on the road but what can I say...they're a bit stiffer. I would like Tokico or Koni but at this point I dont think I have the funds and dont know if its worth puttin in my car so my decision is GR2s, hell I been thinking about just gettin Monroes and keep it a smooth ride but I'm afraid they wont adapt to my driving.
