Default KYB GR2 vs Tokico HP

Are they similar in terms of stiffness? Which one is more performance oriented? Set of GR2 is $50 less then HP, worth it? Thanks.

People are gonna have varying opinions about both. This is from experience though. I've ran the tokico hp's and they are good. I am currently running the KYB GR-2's and they work just as well but a tad bit stiffer (just what I needed). So basically it all comes down to how much you want to spend. I went with the GR-2's obviously because of price and I am very happy with their performance for daily driving, auto-x, and drag. Good luck on your choice.

you should be able to get Koni reds (special's) for around the same price, mabye a touch more and they are a better strut. http://www.tirerack.com has them for $77 each.
