i need 2 front struts, want factory/stock feel

my 2 front struts are gone and i need to replace them.

i'm looking for a nice ride, like it came from the factory.

can anyone suggest some struts?

i've been thinking about ordering the KYB Gr2 strut.

also if you can suggest a place to purchase from...

thanks.

As long as you don't plan on lowering go with the GR2s. They are good struts. They feel good and give a little more responsive ride than stock, and they aren't harsh.

GR2's are very stiff.

Tokico Blue's are the struts that will give you that factory new ride back.

GO WITH THE BLUES! They are stock replacements, seeing as stock IS Tokico.

The gr2 is junkola on terms of ride quality.

thats what i thought......didnt want people getting too excited!!

but the blues arent a bad shock/strut......i had those on a prelude and rode like stock...... if you have the money, check into Koni......they make a great product (not sure whats available for the max though)

This is what i bought last week.. fast shipper too.

ive installed them only in my rears so far as i still need to get the front strut bearings.

but what a difference than having two busted shocks in the back..
