My account won't allow me to do a search so I apologize in advance for asking a question that has probably been asked 100 times. But anyway, I'm looking for the closest thing to the softer ride of OEM struts on an unmodded GLE. Which of these woulod be the closest?

1. KYB GR2s
2. Tokico Blues
3. Monroe Sensatrac
4. Other

Cool..didn't know that about GR2s because i've seen them advertised as "regular" replacements. I do not want anything that stiff. Thanks

Gr2's are the closest OEM replacements, but they are rough as hell. I'd consider getting tokico Illuminas. Many many ppl swear by this set-up. My friend has this set-up (Illuminas w/ H&R springs.) it is by far the best. Very comfortable while giving you that nice dropped look aswell as very sharp handling. Look into this.

Not trying to threadjack, but would illuminas make much of a difference over stock struts on stock springs?

Good question because I have stock springs. if I bought Illuminas what setting would give me the same feel - 1 or 2?

Tokico Blues, high performance struts and rear shocks will give you back that new car like ride.
Nice and smooth with good ride control.

do blues = hp's?

Is there a place to purchase all the other stuff for struts ie dust boots, strut mounts, etc.?

Yes Tockico Illuminas will make a much bigger difference over the stock especially paired with H&R springs.
