Default Kyb Gr2's

For the people who have these on their ride... How are they performance wise? Do you recommend them?

after 3 months my car is BOUNCY, get better ones so you don't have to double up on teh work & pay more than is necessary when you end up buying 2 sets of shocks. If your car isn't dropped they'll ride about like stock though I guess.

How dumped was your car? So they only stayed stiff for 3 months? and then it felt like stock again? i just ask because i heard gr2's are equivalent to tokiko blues but with a bit cheaper price. my friend has been riding on his tokikos on a dumped ride too but hasnt had problems... but the gr2's do hold stiffer than stock right?

my friend had gr2's on his DA with skunk2 coilovers, they felt like ****. But also I think he might have lowered his car too much. The shocks are supposed to work in a certain range. Personally I think you should spit up the money and go with AGX's alot of people have them, and they sound like one of the better "bang for the buck" shocks.
