well first it depends on how much you want to spend. And also what you're going for, performance, look etc. i've heard the GR2's are really rough.

If you are putting you stock OEM spring back on, they are fucking awsome! But if you use lowering springs on them, Nope Nope Nope...

Hey i went to that AJUSA.com and it says " Unless otherwise noted, the prices are for a single shock/strut." does that mean the porices on there are only for 1 shock/strut?

That would be gay because that is pretty expensive for AGX Adjustable Shocks and Struts

Hey, what is the big difference between the KYB GR-2's and the KYB - AGX's other then the price...

Is the adjestable feature on the AGX's worth another 200$?


Oh yeah, and another thing...You know who is really really gay?

Nepolean dynamite!

Are the AGX's worth the extra $200 over the GR-2?... Hmmm. Do i really have to answer that one? If your going to run stock springs, i'd stick with the GR-2's. If you go with a progressive spring like Eibach, and lower your car; OMG yess...

"... Don't be jealous that i have been chatting online with babe all day!"

If somone wanted to call me gay and i made a few hundred thousands for that movie. I'd just go on and brush my sholders off.

Alright, Everyone keeps telling me to buy the Eibach pro-kit, and now that you tell me to buy the AGX's. So i'm going to do that!

Thanks for the information.

Re: Kyb Gr2?

This is one of the few times i am going to suggest you try e-bay for the KYB AGX struts. Some people have gotten them for 380 off of there. Whereas i payed 480 + tax..
