I think you meant

GR2's

the gr2's are pretty much just a slightly higher performance factory replacement,
I would not expect much from them,

on that same note I had gr2's and tein Stechs on one of my rx7's and one of my 240's and I loved them...

they are good for the money, ( like 200$ IIRC)
but they are deff. nothing special

KYB GR2's don't perform well in the front. They are fine in the back. I am replacing my front ones soon because they can't handle the weight of the front.

KYB's and Eibach here..... never had any problems with them, my car corners and Slides like a SOB. deffinately worth it for how cheap they are. but there is obviously better out there,

side note: I have NEVER heard anything good about Tokiko's for more than about 5,000 miles and my friend had a bad experience with them as well

dont Tokico's break all the time....
or was that just a rumor?? i remember reading up on them like a little less then a year ago. there is warenty for life or sumthing like that and ppl were getting them like 4-5 times a year or sumthing. There was a weak point to them, but i forgot.

Bilstein is better than all the shocks posted here IMHO. You can get some cheap shocks that will feel stiff and make ur car slide out, or you can get Bilsteins that will keep your car planted to the ground better than the mentioned shocks in this thread. www.eshocks.com is your friend :naughty: .
