what are a good pair of non-adjustable shocks. I am looking between kyb gr2, koni reds, and whatever else is out there. I am putting them on eibach pro-kit for a gsr.

Koni Reds are adjustable, just not externally; you'll have to have them off of the car to adjust them.

My KYB AGXs blew in less than 30K (all 4!) with my Pro-Kits; absolute junk.

I haven't had much experience with the reds, I'm sure they're a great product, but I won't ever be buying anything but yellows from now on. They're fantastic.

 

At $119 ea for koni yellows on http://www.redshiftmotorsports.com, theres not much reason not to get them over non-adjustables.

But for non adjustables, koni reds are about $80/ea, you could source bilstein HD for ~$98/ea, and tokico blues for about $75/ea.

You can get the eibach sport-system Kit, which includes springs and their 'pro-dampers' for $470 w/prokit springs, or $377 w/sportline springs. This is the best bargain I've seen in a great while, but i dont know how great or not the pro-dampers are from eibach. This is from tirerack.com

the bilsteins are good dampers, i've driven a few cars equipped with them. i've also driven an integra with stock GC rates and tokico blues... all i can say is "meh".

 

how are the tokico's compared to koni red? are the kyb gr-2's no good?

 

I haven't personally had any experience with the Tokico line, but from what I've read, they're pretty comparable to the KYBs. Honestly, I'd go stock over anything KYB or Tokico. If you're looking for an upgrade, nothing but Koni.

 

disappointing to hear that KYB AGX is also crap. that's not cool

 

i got koni yellows with neuspeed sports i like the setup but wish the car was lower, mayb next time i'll get the neuspeed race springs. I was gonna get tokico but hear lots of good thing bout koni.

I have them with Ground Controls. No problems here.

 

the GR-2, Blue, and Koni Red are pretty much OEM replacement shocks. I wouldn't use them in a lowered suspension.

 

from what I read, those shocks are made for slightly lowered suspenstion, i.e. 1.5".
