I need to replace my shocks(struts w/130k miles) on my 94gsr. Car has a stock suspension. I was thinking about going with a aftermarket OEM style shock, either KYB GR2 or Tokico blue non adjustable. My suspension is stock, so I'm not looking into anything fancy plus I want something that will last a while. Which one should I go with????

OEM is out of the question as they run $100+ each. I can get them for $80+ but that is still to expensive.....

 

i had the kyb agx on my civic
and tokiko blues on my integra.

same drop, same neuspeed race springs.

i like the tokico blues better.

more stock / comfortable ride.

 

i have blues and love them with my itr springs.

Adjustability was nice on the agx's but even at the softest settings they were stiffer than stock.. .too stiff for my daily commuting.

 

i dont think i would wanna drive a car like that in nyc daily either.

 

Anyone know how long are the warranty on both????

 

I'd get the Blues. Check thier websites for the warranty info

 

if you plan on lowering your car, the kyb agx's will handle -2" springs. The tokico blues can only handle as much as -1.75" as they are softer.

 

Does the tokico or KYB come with new bumpstops or do I have to reuse my old one?

You have to re-use the stock ones.

 

Tokico Blues and H&R Sport springs. Good match

If you don't plan on lowering the car, why don't you just get something like Monroe shocks for cheap? Might as well save the extra money.

Not really, they were the almost same price as the tokico and kyb....
