i cant decide what struts to buy, and need help deciding between the tokico and kyb. has anyone used the kyb gr-2's? any luck? they are about 50$ cheaper than the tokico blues. im just wondering if its worth it at all.
thanks.
well if your decision now is between kyb agx and tokico... ive had both. i had tok's with eibach springs and now have agx's with GC's. i would recommend agx's any day over tok's. plus if u have tok's and ever decide that u want to upgrade to GC coilovers then u are screwed. coilovers wont fit on the tok's. i figure that out the hard way.
Originally posted by sentrapower93 Then go with the KYB AGX struts, the gr-2s are better suited for stock springs...
what are u basing this off of they are the same height as stock same travel het have more pressure and rebound and can handle more abuse. cutting the bumps stops in half then buying b13 front strut(to get more suspension travel) should be sufficient enough for a more comfortable ride.
look the gr-2's are not suited for lowering your car. Take this from an idiot that used them. They lasted me about 8 months and now they are shot. Just do it right the first time and buy the agx's because if you dont you will be spending alot of money.
ive decided to get the agx's, will i gain from getting the b13 fronts? i know there is the same question about 3 threads down, but it was just arguing, and never really seemed to answer.
once again, im using suspension techniques 1.5" springs.
thanks.

The 1/2 inch gain from B13 fronts is "realized" only if you use it as a basis for coilovers. Reason is the measurement from lower spring perch to bottom of strut is identicasl in both B13 and B14 AGXs.
The 1/2 inch difference is from the top of the strut body to the bottom and you can not take advantage of it with your springs.
