kyb gr-2 shocks for 07+

[Beak]

looks like they finally made us some shocks!
Does anyone have experience with Gr-2?? how is the ride... they claim to be a tiny bit upgraded from OEM. with eibachs i want to upgrade the shocks... opinions? and yes i know about coils.. i dont need any smart remarks like "just get coils".

Thanks

i would like to know as well because i was actually going to get coils this summer because of a couple reasons.

is there a link so i can check these out?

well on the kyb website there is an app chart and it shows front and rear for the sedan, but only rears for the coupe. i Think the front for the sedan willl fit the coupe. i say this because, and this is only a guess, but on tiens web site the sedan and coupe have the same part number, which leads me to think they should fit. i have heard very good things about theese shocks. i just dont know how they would pair with the eibachs.

all the reviews I've read so far say that they are OEM replacements (meaning no real performance gain), save for the fact that some say they will adapt to being lowered on eibach's better due to better valving in the shock. Other's refute that claim.Still, other reviews have them being blown out after 8000 miles. That will not cut it for me. I read an acura forum while searching for reviews about these shocks, and most everyone said to get the AGX version for a lowered car. I'm going to call and see if KYB will be making an AGX version for our cars.



(still saving for BC Racing)

Got an email back from KYB marketing.

"Hi Chris,



Thanks for the email. Unfortunately there are no immediate plans to offer AGX for the Altima Coupe. We appreciate the interest and I have forwarded your email to the engineering department. Perhaps things will change in the future.



Thanks again,
KYB"
