well the tokico is double the price of kyb's and they are competitors of each other so i say go with the gr2's cause the blues, aren't gonna be that much better than the kyb's especially not worth the double price, instead of going with the tokico blues, i'd go with the kyb agx's tho cause those aren't that much more than the blues, but they are a lot better. I got the kyb's on skunk2 springs, and i'm very happy with them so the gr2's for price and responsive ness with a reasonable drop get from me

i would go with the tokico's.. i had the kyb's and the tokico's on my crx.. the tokico's are alot better.. my kyb's actually blew... there is a reason why the kyb's are cheaper.. cause they suck

I've got gr2s on mine with eibach pro-kits and IMO they are pretty nice. Not sure where you ordered from but I payed about $150-160 for mine off of Tirerack. I think they were like $40 a piece for fronts and $34 a piece for backs.

I have the GR-2s on mine, lowered about .75 " front and back and they aren't bad for the $$$. Tirerack.com was cheap also like some other member mentioned. I think it was around 160ish shipped for all 4

do you have kyb agx's or kyb gr-2 with the skunk 2 springs? have you had any problems w/ the skunk2 springs since they lower the car approximately 2.5 inch cause i thought if your car is lower than 2 you have a good chance of blowing your shocks.

I would go with the blues. I had blues on my rex for about 2 years now and I haven't had a single problem with them. I had the kyb's on my car and I only had it for about 6 months and they blew on me. blues may cost more but its worth the money.
