Kyb shocks


Hey guys, now that I've got my new springs I've been thinking I'll do the shocks as well while I'm taking everything apart, Anyone know anything about KYB? I was looking at this shock.

KYB Shocks & Struts 235060 - KYB GR-2 Gas Shocks and Struts - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Also if anyone has any suggestions for anything near that price let me know.

KYB GR2's are decent replacement shocks for the price. I've used them on a few of my cars, and I don't really have any complaints. There is a big difference between them and the higher performance shocks though (Tokico, Koni, Bilstein, etc.), but the cost difference is pretty large as well.

KYB's are decent, but if you can go with some Koni Yellow's, Tokico Blues, Bilsteins, w/e.

If you are looking for a cheap good enough shock upgrade then yes KYB's are great.

I have them too. KYB is great for budgets. Wheel size, spring size, & alignment make differences in final judgment of ride quality.
