Hey guys, I'm looking to get Tein S-Tech Springs and KYB GR2 Shocks here real soon (next week).
Can you guys help me finding the best deal on where to purchase these all at one time, or do you recommend different vendors. I'm not on a strict budget or anything, but I do want the best deal possible

Any feedback, links and buying experience would be great--Thanks!!

 

Think I saw some teins on ebay for $140-150.

 

U can always try the GROUP DEAL section like I did. And join in on one of em

 

There is a GD on KYB GR-2 for $260 shipped. I think that's a very good price. There should be a GD on Tein S Tech springs very soon.

I am going to be dropping my 02 soon. I have looked at the many spring and strut options. I went by Motorsport Dynamics here in Sacramento the other day to see what they thought. They said that the KYB GR-2s are basically an OEM replacement and not suited for performance. They don't have a shorter shaft on the strut and would be softer but not perform well. Not too much different than leaving the stock ones in. They do really good work and reccomended going with the Toikicos. I keep hearing everyone raving about the GR2s so I thought that I would bring this up and let people know.

 

.....just when i thought my mind was made-up!!!

I still have yet to see anyone RAVE about the Tok's -- and everyone is falling over themselves about the GR-2's.

I wondering what your guys meant by PERFORMANCE SHOCKS??

Are we talking AUTOCROSS performance, or are we talking TRACK DAY performance.

You gotta be careful here, because for me - I don't want or need those two types of PERFORMANCE.

However, i DO want a relative degree of SPORTINESS that is not afforded by the current setup.

Being a realist, I KNOW I'm NOT going to get on the track or an autocross circuit anytime in the forseeable future.

But I am starting to wonder if maybe I should get a set of AGX's just to temper my need for versatility.
If the GR-2's are THAT close to stock, maybe this COULD be a decent alternative...???

Ugh, this just gets harder every day!

Thanks for the info.

Trust me--GR2 are not "soft" as stock. Yes they are stock replacements (but isn't everything?!?) but they are definitely much more stiff than stock struts. They will work fine with aftermarket springs. They are "performance struts", not OEM replacements. They are cheaper than stock struts and will out perform them any day. Not for the person wanting the "stock" ride though.

I have Toks and love em. I had Eibach's and GR2's on my Saturn and it beat the everlivin' **** outta me. That's why I opted for the Toks on the Max (were perfect on my Talon TSi.)
