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.

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

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:

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.
