#15054, "Who has KYB GR2's and how do they preform?"




          

I was wondering who has a set of GR2s and how they perform. I can get a set of them from my work for 200 plus my discount.

I do. They honestly perform terribly. They are on my 98 talon with intrax springs. Very bouncy, very stiff. Kind of noisy after I put them on also. I would say get a set of AGX's or tokiko adjustables. If I had to start over, I wouldn't purchase the GR2's again. I may acctually put my stock shocks back on.
Hope that helps.

well, i would get a set of AGXs from work but they only prob is that my car is 2 1/4" drop and i don't wanna do anything to damage them. I am more than likely going to get a set of tokicos for my car and just run with those. i already got a set of tokico springs so i think it'll be a good combo. thanks for the info.

I have em and i have no complaints.....but.....if i could do it all over again i would have gotten koni five ways or tokico adjustables. My friend has em on his civic and i love them. The GR2's are not that bouncy once they are worn in. and once they are, they are hard as hell with coilovers.

I hate them. I eventually plan on taking them off and selling them along with these damn dropzone springs. Don't do it to yourself......

Ive had mine on for like 8-9 months now. They are still as crappy as when i put them on. Don't make my mistake and take the cheap way out. You get what you pay for.

They've worked ok for me the past two years. I had em with H&R sports and the ride was pretty good. It's harsh now with my skunk2 coilovers though because the springs are 500 lb-ft,
