Question KYB Opinions??

I can get a set of KYB GR-2 Gas fronts & Gas-a-just rears for $143.00, which is much less the Bilsteins or Konis.

The car is a 1987 Z28 which is pretty factory & will be used on the street with plans for a better/bigger motor in the future.

Any opinions or advice???

I have the KYB gr-2 struts and shocks. Even tho they arent adjustable I like them alot. They are very nice. Pretty stiff but for the price they are great.

That was the quote that I got from shox.com yesterday & it also mentioned free shipping on Koni orders in Canada & continental USA.

i have driven KYB's adn i must say that the bilsteins i had oin my car were waayyyyy better. get teh race rear shocks and the heavy duty front struts and you will be very very happy with the way your car handles adn drives. they are a bit more expensive, but they are a world better.

later
