They're not even close to $400. I think I got mine for $50 a piece. So about the same price as the gr2's.

i highly doubt that they are about 50 a piece... cause front adn rear doesnt cost the same..... (yes im doing a search on it) so more or less the gr2's are cheaper.....

yeah yeah you get what you pay for....but for the price ... you cant beat it.....

please show me some exact price.... since i gave an exact price for the gr2's that i recently bought... it would be more easier....

I paid $213.50, I just checked my receipt. I purchased them locally at a store called RacingZone Autohouse, and yes front and rear cost the same price.

KYB AGX's or at least something adjustable. You will be much happier.

Shows how smart you are, how can a strut of completely different design and concept be a stock replacement. The stock shock is a liquid shock and the blues are a gas shock, that right there is a huge improvement over stock, don't come in here blabbing some stupid statement because it's not the brand you use...

What are you talking about? You compared them to something everyone else has used? You are talking out of your ***, because you called Tokico blues a stock replacement and that is not even close to a true statement.

yes everyone has used stock struts...and they ride very close to that, with stock springs, non-adjustable, and similar ride. same with GR2s, i have replaced about 20 cars' struts with either gr2s or blues, and they are basically the same

Did you actually drive these cars, because you're way off. Not even close to stock ride. Not even remotely close. The blues are way stiffer. I had H&R springs with stock shocks and then H&R's with blues, I can't even begin to describe the improvement over stock. The car doesn't bottom out near as much either with the stiffer struts. My stock struts were shot in less than 6 months on the H&R's the blues have lasted over a year now with them and still holding strong. How can you even compare a liquid-filled strut to a gas strut?

Try this next time you have a stock Honda strut and a Tokico Blue out of a car. Try compressing both of them with your hand and tell me you don't notice the difference, and watch how slowly the Tokico comes back up too.

i agree with ryan... although i have no expereince with the tokico blues... i have on gr2's ...... and... i dont know why you would need adjustables... its not like everymorning you go out you will be taking a different type of terrain....

i have yellows and have them set very loose. i like that easy ride for around, but if i were to use them for performance then i would tighten them all the way...
