KYB GR-2s for OTM?
The CR-V needs a new set of struts. For whatever reason Bilsteins are stupid expensive for this chassis (I refuse to spend nearly a grand on shocks for an appliance vehicle). Tire Rack has KYB GR-2s for $314/set.
Does anyone have any experience with these? I intend to keep the CR-V for quite some time (when we buy Melissa a new car next year I'll take it and use it as a daily driver), so I don't want to buy something I'm going to have to replace a year from now.

No Koni streets available for the CR-V. Can't see the point in paying $800 for Koni yellows for a rolling toaster.
Besides, I have to cut open the front struts to install Koni inserts. More work than I want to do. KYBs include all new strut housing.

Being an appliance, I'd use whatever Sears wanted to sell me. No really, I would.

I know the KYB's get poor reviews on my Toyota Forum.
But since these are for a Honda they should be just fine!
I'd just buy whatever is a good deal on rockauto.com
Comfort valving is all you'd really want/need, as the CRV ain't a handling vehicle (at least our 97 wasnt)

I put them on my son's 98 Honda Civic last year and it was like driving a new car.

Rockauto.com has GR-2s and Monroe Sensatracs. KYB's are cheaper. Guess it's KYBs.Originally Posted by OZMDD
