yes

 

With mine, I had to specify the shocks I was going to use when ordering the GC's... I think they are all the same, unless your using Koni's.

 

yea but why would you get gr-2. thats like oem replacement even suckier than oem since its not oem. get soem agx instead. i got some used agx and they still runnin coo

 

im thinking of going with AGX but i have no clue how to adjust them and i also need to no how much on average does it cost to get new shocks struts and coilovers installed?

AGX's adjust by using a small flathead screwdriver on the top of the shock. There are 4 positions of adjustment.

Installed? Depending on the shop, probably between 300-600$.

 

lol... you bought gc's for 300 and then bought gr2's... roflo.. you just killed your susspension. Wow what a waste of money.

please go read up and learn before you waste money like that again

 

There is nothing wrong with the KYB's gr-2 shocks. I am using them with a coilover setup on my ride, and they are fantasic. Oh did I say fantasic i ment kick ***. The ride is really stiff, shoot into the corners at great speeds. The only real difference between them and the AGX's, as the AGX's are adjustable... But who needs that if you have a good setup.

i never bought the gr2's. if u read what i said, i dont wanna waste money on something if it doesnt fit. im gonna go with agx after all i just have to wait tell i have extra money and yea i heard GR-2 are great anyways

 

GR-2s are meant to be OEM replacements and really don't offer any performance improvement over stock. I'd save up just a little bit more and get AGXs instead.

 

just ordered some KYB agx.

now when i get them and install them. whats the best setting to adjust them. ?

 

kyb says their dampeners are around 10% stiffer then stock, not much but still more than a OE replacement

Yah, maybe on the softest setting. I had AGXs on my car at one time and there is no way they were only 10% stiffer than the OEM shocks.

 

well i get my agx shocks tomorrow and i already have my ground control coilovers. and my shop said they would charge me 140 since im a regular customer they hook it up.

what setting should i have the shocks on. this is a daily driver that goes over bumps all the time.
