You don't have much choice. Unfortunately Intrax is probably too much for KYB in the long term. You never know though, I've read plenty of posts from other forums about KYB's, a lot of 240 owners seem to have them and say they've held up with a heavy drop. Then there's always someone who doesn't have any experience with them, saying they'll blow asap and to be a man and get some coilovers.

So far it's been good to me. Big difference in handling.

i was 2.2 inches front and 2.0 rear on KYB GR2 struts and for the year i was that low they held up fine, good enough shape that someone snagged them when the car was at the junkyard too

you have no choice unless you can one in a million chance find some Koni or Tokico

autozone sells them. 87 or 105 for fronts (depending on side??) and 65 for rears.

Shox.com should also have them:

GR-2 non-adjustable shocks, price is for a set of 4 F&R. 239.00
