Tokico's or kyb gr2's and why !? i found a really sick deal for them installed at a local shop with sportlines and gr2's...... but i wanna know which are better to have ...

 

WeLL gr-2 are not for lowered cars, and die very quickly when applied to lowered cars. Then you might as well keep what you have.

AGX=Adjustable Shock dampening thus you can make it harder or softer and also are made for lowered vehicles and will then make it last longer.

Tokico's are another good alternative, and you can also check out the thread on OBX coilovers for additional information.

 

hello anyone one else have anything to say ? i know what u meant import... i just wanted anyones input with any other shocks/struts etc...

 

Well Mr. X000,

This was to also inform other members, not only u we are mean!!

 

damn right we mean ...

 

from what i know: GR2 > Tokico Blues

FWIW: I've been running GR2's on Sportlines for a while now and haven't had problems. Haven't had them on for more than 20k miles or so, though. Oddly enough, I blew out Koni Yellows faster than the GR2's.

Best bet would probably be short stroke struts/shocks like GAB SS's.

 

any one else have anything to say about the gr2's ? i like to race occasianlly ... but i live in ny... alot of potholes... so tell me are gr2's worth it ?

 

Here it is.

If you stick with your auto you should go with the GR2/Sportlines like ACE suggested. I know you say you race occasionally but I know what you do and they would satisfy your needs. I always harp that you should get Coils but I know where you stand right now and these seem to make the best sense for you.

If you sell the auto and get a manual then you will be in a different boat. You will have to address any problems that the manual might have and shocks might not be on the top of your list. I can see you doing a little more racing in the manual then the auto. I can see you doing a couple AutoXs when I finally finish my car and we all roll out there. If you get a manual and want to set it up then move to Coils.

I want to keep things in your ballpark.

Just my 2 Cents.

 

well sounds good.... well im gonna stick with the auto now... the guy says he didnt want to buy it cause he found a s14 for 6500.... but ill see .... i dont mind having an auto... its not that bad... and im still a newbie driver.... i think i can handle having an auto for another year...

 

You can do it. The winter is coming soon. The fever will wear off a bit.

 

ive seen a red 240 for sale... stick with drop and exhaust for 2k like a mile away.... go for it.... its a 1990=sohc

 

ACE, you blew out koni yellows? how? i was under the impression that konis were top of the line.

 

Was the stroke shorter then what they could handle? I know that is the problem most people run into when they put drop springs on stock shocks.
