What's your preference: KYB GR2s or Tokico Blues?
 
I'm about to FINALLY lower my ride with some MaxSpeeds and so I need
new struts/shocks...While everyone says "AGX ALL THE WAY", I don't
need adjustable shocks and don't plan on paying for it. I just want
a soft ride with a lowered car.

So, if the price was EXACTLY the same, would you pick KYB GR2s or Tokico Blues?

Remember -- I want soft!

Thanks!

With aftermarket springs I would be worried to ride on either of those. But since those are my only choices, I would go with the Blues.

Blues suck :D

Get the GR2s. They have much more adequate rebound damping.

Most aftermarket springs have higher rebound rates that stock since they lower the car. Therefore you need a stronger strut to take the harsher impact.

Not having enough damping is just like riding on blown shocks, trust me, get adjustables and adjust them correctly.
A lot more information is here:

well Tokicos suck, IMO, and I had a terrible experience with them blowing up at auto-cross.

Thanks everyone!
I'll let you know how it turns out...

cheers! :)

Flo_boy, i currently have the maxspeed/GR2 combo...i like the way my car handle and ride now...it'll be more stiffer than stock meaning when going over bumps....

lefty Apr 28, 2003 07:32 AM

98coupv6,

do you get any sag in the rear with passengers and some luggage with your setup?

George;

I've got Eibachs & GR2's. I paid $442.75 (taxes in) at Budget for my GR2's - you may want to consider getting new mounts & boots for the GR2's. ($140+taxes @ Budget)

I can meet you downtown if you like a ride to check it out.
