#18967, "Which strut is better"


          

Hello all
I work at an autoparts store. I need new struts. So i looked my car up and and came up with 3 choices and want to know which one is the best

1. Monroe Snesa-Trac 59.88
2.KYB AGX - 99.99
3.KYB GR-2 51.09

Right now im leaning towards the AGX's. Also price doenst really matter i get a 20% discoutn so instead of coasting 400 for the AGX's i get them for $320. So what do you guys think should i go with the AGX's are they good struts and are they worth the money

Hey,

Monroe, haven't heard much about em honestly

KYB, do you have your car lowered? If so i've heard of some problems with the length being too short.

I have Tokico shocks with my lowered car, and they are Great on my 2" lowered car. There's a write up on them right now.



Stage III HRC
8.5:1 compression
12 psi @ 2300 rpm
fully built engine..
oo.. and it goes vroom

best et. 14.49 @ 101

I had the KYB GR-2 struts on my car b4 i put my tokicos on...they were pretty good, never had any problems w/them but i wouldnt trade my tokicos for anything-of course my car is lowered so it may not make much of a difference to you since yours isn't...if you dont want to spend the extra money on the tokicos, i would go w/the gr-2 ones-i think they are good for the money...dont get monroe ones-they suck...or so i have heard...anna

ive heard the KYB GR-2's are essentially stock struts. Ive also heard bad things about them, so I would go with the AGX out of the 3, but like others say id take a set of Tokico's over all 3.
