Default strange strut question

for right now im gonna be leaving the car stock height.. rear struts are blown and im not paying to fix them.. i got the choice between KYB GR-2's or tokico blues

on a stock height car which would be worth getting.. eventualy i plan on probaly getting a coilover setup but i dont know which ones support the KYB's.. groundcontrols are nice and support the blues but ive heard mixed reviews on both struts

theres no budget for adjustables so no use bringing it up.. im looking for improvement over stock not super handling

cant find nobody with info with them on stock springed car..no coilovers for probaly atleast 6 months after they get put on

i have a feeling the failures i hear about in reviews have to do with cars lowered too much

i know they will but im looking to find out which is the better of the 2.. which will last longer.. etc.. stock springs would probaly wear the struts diffrent from lowered cars.. ive heard good about the blues.. ive also heard they are just as bouncy as bad struts pretty quickly.. and for the KYB's ive heard they leak quick (people going too low?) and ive also read a few on that saying the washer snapped the the thing nailed the hood

under normal driving conditions, either one will be fine. they are made as OE replacements.

like i said, you won't have any problems if you're on stock springs. unless of course, you effed up the installation.
