Default How cheap can I go on shocks with GCs???

Yes I searched. What I am looking for is anyone with ACTUAL experience with shocks other than Yellows or AGX's paired with Ground Control adjustable springs.. I already know "you get what you pay for" so that should save at least five people typing a post!!
My ride is becoming unbearable. I bounce all over the place. It feels unsafe. I am buying Ground Control springs for cheap but don't have much $$$ for shocks.Thanx!!

If you don't want to dish out the loot for agx's go with the gr-2's. They are great shocks for the money.

Check eBay. I got a great deal on Tokico Illumina adjustables there, and I tell ya, probably the best investment you could do. I have them paired with the Ground Control coilovers ...

GR-2's are a great bang for the buck!

gr-2's and the likes are pretty much just a waste of money, there stock replacements that might be alil better.

i had agx's and they were fine for how much i paid. the shitty thing is when they blow your fucked and you have to buy a new one.


with koni yellows you can just have the shock rebuilt, so its cheap. plus the fact that the yellow are wayyyyyy better then the kybs

I've heard good things about the GR2's. $200.00 on ebay

Tom (b18c5-eh2) praises them as a good all around shock for the money, and has personal experience with them.

Thanks for the advice. Its not like I want to be cheap but I'm about to move so the funds are stretched thin. For now I need to find shocks and am looking for alternatives.
