Default shock choice. (i did search) blues vs. GR-2's

the search articles i read did not compare: Tokico Blues vs. KYB GR-2s I am looking at nuespeed sport springs or eibach sportlines in my 89 crx si. thoughts?

i know that koni yellows seem to be the best, then AGX's, then Illuminas, but i dont really care if they are adjustable or not. As everyone i have a budget and it is not very big.

well honestly, i would go with something else. i have had both, and they both never really did anything for me. i like bilstiens/ or illumina's if you are gonna do it. or koni's too, but they are pricey. what kinda car you got? im selling my illuminas with the eibac pro kit for civic, and they will fit your car. the illuminas are adjustable

maybe they wont fit.

I'm getting ready to buy some struts too. But I'm torn between the AGX's and the Illumina's. Can't really spend the extra 2 bills for the Koni's. Have to get seat's, cross member from mmr, and a nx bottle heater. Got to love tax returns......

I've heard that blues don't last, howver i've heard good things about gr2s. I'm going to be getting gr2s with H&R OE Sports...comfortable ride. Great choice for street cars...Unless you are going to be doing alot of roadracing/autocrosses those will do fine...

I have the Neuspeed Sport with KYB GR2 setup and it works together great. Inlinefour.com sells a kit of them together for damn cheap.

if your car is going to be lowered more than an inch both of the shocks will wear out around 1.5 years.
