Hey guys, I got some some springs.... Tein S. Tech's. I was thinking about geting some KYB shocks for them. Can someone who knows about kyb shocks let me know if KYB GR2's are good? If so i am going to get them for $65 a shock, so about $260 total. Is that a good price?

Any recomendations on other shocks?

Real? As far as i know.. they are. I ordered them from Excelerate on this site. They were shipped from a TEIN retailer. The warranty paper says on the top: "TEIN S. TECH SPRING LIMITED WARRANTY".... real?

I really need to know if these shocks are good! Someone? What are the like top 2 or 3 KYB shocks?

yea. Tein is having a problem with counterfeiting. http://www.tein.com/counterfeit/warning.html

Once again... what i really need to know is what do you guys think about the shocks! please let me know, i want to purchase the shocks and have the shocks and springs installed soon.

I think you can get the KYB GR-2 cheaper. I got Tokico Blues for $260.Ebay has kyb GR-2 for $160 and $20 shipping. Personally, I think they are a little bit better than stock.I was always told to get koni or bilstein. If you can afford them.

I did see those KYB GR2 schocks on ebay for 180 shipped. I was thinking about buying those. Do you guys think they are legit or should I continue looking for them. I think 180 shipped for all 4 is a great deal. I probably run them with Tein H-tech because I have a 2002 TL-P

KYB AGX's are better they're 8 way adjustable, you've got the choice to go soft or stiffer for performance with the twist of a knob. Tokico Illuminas are 5 way adjustable. I definately recommend adjustables vs. non adjustables

i dont have experience with the KYBs...but i heard around that they are pretty similar compare to the stock shocks, can't tell much difference! im using Tokico's Illumina, which i can really tell the difference from stock....

just my 2 cents...

Topher707

so when you say you can tell the diff. are you saying it is better or worse than stock? stiffer or what?

wmah523

it's stiffer yet absorbs bumps so well, i can feel it working. i went thru two suspensions: my first setup was comptech springs w/ stock shocks, it was bumpy as hell even with my old OEM 16" wheels. Now that i have H&R w/ Tokico w/ softest setting up front and set on 2 on rear, w/ 18", it feels more luxury and comfy, much better over stock w/ the comptechs...at least my grandparents didn't complain no more like b4.

I have the kyb on mine. i also have the stock springs. they are very similar to the oem shocks. I dont know what your expecting out of the shocks as far as performace/ride??? They by no means are the best out there, but they arent bad either. If you want the best pony up for the bilsten or the koni yellows
