can you tell me how they compare to each other

thanks

 

which ones? What sub models are you looking at?

 

touring edition vs gr-2

 

I have no experience with either one.

Sorry.

 

KYB GR-2s are an OEM replacement strut. It seems as though the Bilstein touring class is are also just an OEM replacement. I would imagine that the stock Honda struts would be the way to go in this class of strut/shock. There are no gains to be seen in ether the KYB GR2 or Bilstein Touring Class vs the OEM Honda strut.

 

Were you planning on "upgrading" or were you looking to simply replace stock..?

 

go with BTLS

you dont need suspension take all that ish off and run around town bottomed out getting stuck

JK, KYB is legit! bilstein is not umm, cool?

ok for real, as a replacement i'd go with KYB, for sport, KYB, for race KYB

bilstein belongs on sububans and crap

 

GhostAccord nailed it.

If you really wanna compare though...

I've had a friend who used the touring on his jetta and saw no real upgrade in handling. I drove it before (when the stock struts were in good shape) and after we put them on and it was the same.

From all the reviews/opinions I've read and heard from people the KYB's are fine too, but again, no handling gain.

If I had to choose, I might say go KYB.

 

I thought it was spelled Bilstein. Correct me if im wrong.

 

Get the Kyb adjustable there great the GR2 are way to soft, but you can fly through speed bumps if thats your thing.

 

Wow, this is one of the worst posts I've ever seen on the internet. Bilstien is 100x the shock brand KYB is... ESPECIALLY for Accords, I have never heard of anyone who had a set of AGXs that didn't blow.

For OEM replacements I don't think the brand even matters TBH though.

 

to be honest, Tokico has always done me well and never failed...

I have KYB on my SUV but my accord has always been tokico

 

I ride on KYB. I am very pleased with it. EX coupe 99 is my primary car to drive. The handling is very nice. I do not want it any harder than it is for daily driving.

 

No one likes Tokico's? I would go with whichever is cheaper if its a daily and you don't have any other suspension mods.

 

I've got Illumina's and LOVE them, but the OP doesn't seem to want a stiffer strut (even though if you turn them to the softest setting they are actually really tame).

Tokico blues would be fine too if you don't have anything else done as o6spdracer suggested.

 

I'm surprised. No one hear has heard of Kill Your Back?
I've replaced the shocks/struts on my vehicles with Bils when the current units fail. I have never had a problem with Bils and feel adjustable shocks/struts that have settings are pointless. Unless you have each dampener dyno'd or know what each setting does you are 'tuning' blind. Either way, a spring and dampener should be matched. Too soft the spring overpowers the dampener too hard and the opposite happens. Slapping on some adjustable setting shocks and then cranking it to 11 for the 'mAd tYte handles Y0!' is going to net you a car that cannot grip. A harsh ride does not equate to good suspension.
