Tokico's are the only aftermarket performance struts made for 5th gens. All others require modifications.

One correction on the Konis: the rears they

make for the Gen4 are a direct, bolt-on replacement....

Not true...KYB makes GR2's for 5th Gen. There are a few members here that are running those (Tirerack carries them).

If there are anybody with GR2's can verify that you dont need to make any modification to install (Straight up bolt on's with stock SE springs).

I have them in the rear...no issues at all. The struts fit great and the spring seats just like on a stock strut. I assume the front are the same.

There's a couple who has it. Additionally, i have the KYB book right here with the part numbers for the 5th gen GR2's. That's proof enough for me

How is the ride with the KYB compared to the stock struts. Hows the control? the dipping when breaking? leaning while changing lanes at high speeds? Also if there are anyone with the fronts installed also i would like to hear from you about the install.

i'm kinda curious about this as well. i didn't realize that the konis required modification too. if the kyb gr2s are ok, then i'd like to know how they differ from the agx's and if they're adjustable too.
