this was getting no love in the suspension section. and i think some people would deff be interested!

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.. :crazy:

well... i dont see any for sale yet. i see them on the Kyb site application chart found here:

http://www.kyb.com/pdf/kyb_catalog.pdf

Looks like it shows only rears. But, i think the sedan fronts should fit us. i looked on tiens website to see if the sedan and coupe have the same part number for their coils, and they DO. so the front gr-2 shocks for the sedan should also fit the coupe.

This would be a nice combination for those that don't want to do coilovers. I can definitely attest to the stock shocks feeling like complete crap after a while. We knew it would happen. Good thing I traded the lease in for another one :)

On my 200Sx, I had KTB GR-2's with the Eibach sportline kit... combo was amazing for cornering, and driving... then the GR-2's just gave out one day. Driving sucked... so I then went to the KYB-AGX with sportline... cornering was even better, but the car ws too low for evryday use... I then went to the KYB-AGX with eibach pro-kit... and this was great for everyday driving and cornering... I honestly think either the GR-2 or AGX from KYB would be fine with the pro-kits.... AGX's obviously being superior since you can independently adjust the dampening on each strut/shock similar to the way you would for coilovers (obviously not exactly the same, but you get the picture)... just my .03

looks like they hold lifetime warranty as long as the drop is not lower than 1.5. the pro-kits did 1.4 F and 1.0 R.

so i guess we will wait a bit and see how pricing is.

I could definately use these as I'm at the mushy stage of my shocks now. Its time to either get coilovers, or these for me.
