Default kyb shocks...which one to get?

i have a '94 prelude si and currently lowered on neuspeed springs (green).

i'm looking into replacing my stock shocks/struts with aftermarket ones and i'm looking into kyb's...

however i don't want the adjustable AGX model. i want to get the non-adjustable (to save money).

they offer Gas-a-Just, MonoMax and the GR-2. now which one should i get that provides the performance of the AGX but non-adjustable?

or....if KYB doesn't offer any, then what other companies offer comparable performance shocks/struts that are non-adjustable?

thanks in advance

I had the cheap KyBs(gray) didnt last long.. I just put on the Cheap Tokico(Blue). They give a nice ride You can get them for 150 bux, front 150 bux back.

Just like what cottonwoodz said, don't get the gr2. I had them with my rsr spring (1.7 drop) and 5 months later the worn out. If you really don't need the adjustable type, try going with the tikico blue. I have no experience with them but i'v heard good news about them. If you keep on keeping your car for a while, I suggest you go with some good adjustable shocks.

on ebay the agx's are like 75 more than the gr2's.

why not just get the agx's, most people seem to be satisfied with them, thats what I plan on getting.

i would get the agx if i was going to actually race my car on the track like auto-crossing, but since my car is too old for that (i have 144,000 miles) i just want something that'll keep my planted on the ground on daily street use. so i don't really need the adjustability. i have a friend who's lowered on an '94 accord ex with tokico blues with h&r springs and it's quite nice. so i'm not really worried about if the shocks are going to be too stiff or too soft. just wondering if anybody has this setup with neuspeed springs instead?
