Well im getting some new struts to go with the sportline springs that are on my 240. Im on a tight budget (or else it would be coilovers) so im wondering which KYB's to get. I know the agx are like twice as much as the gr-2 but are they worth it? I hear the gr-2 are pretty cheap and its def worth it to spend the extra money from the agx. The agx are also 8 way rear and 4 way front adjustable. Do what do you guys think? Spend more money on the Agx or save and get the Gr2?

P.S. all money i am saving will be going towards my $160 tein camber plates (cant find any cheapier anywhere else) and my spl parts RUCA's

gr2 is only good for stock replacement

agx is a bit more for performance

if I can do it again I would do agx for front and koni yellow for rear

wooorrrdd son...... getting GR2s with aftermarket RUCAs and camber adjustable mounts is like buying walmart tires for your porsche. though allow me to make a suggestion, ditch the sportlines, they're too soft and drop too much, not particularly a good "performance" spring.

Sportlines are terrible. I wonder why people still buy them, someone out there is really pushing it on 240 owners. 2" drop w/ progressive spring rates=teh suck.

FYI: Coilovers are overkill unless you plan on doing serious (as in dedicated on track)circuit-racing/autoxing/or drifting. Save your money for upgrading worn suspension parts instead.

GR-2's are blah. They're not really any better than OEM.
