  1. #1

    Thumbs up Kyb Gr2?

    Does anybody have any feedback on the KYB GR2 shocks on a 1995? Thanks for any comments.

    Most everyone who buys KYB's gets the AGX's. Good shock for the money.

    Had the GR2 on my 95M. They were much harsher than stock. The AGX is a much better deal for the money.

    Probably cuz the stock ones were worn out! Works fine, nothing special though. My 92 came with a set. Just a replacement shock, they might be a tad harsher than stock but still a nice cushy ride. Love my AGX though...never had them with stock springs though.

    AGXs and stock springs are a pretty good combination. I ran them when my car was in E-stock. I kept the damping low to and from events and it was as/more comfortable than the stock shocks.

    Crank up the damping and you can really stiffen up the ride. They're hard to beat for the money. Plus, I finally got to drive Mark52's CSP car which has AGXs and Ground Control coilovers. I was very impressed with how they handled the higher spring rates.

    Sorry, no experience with the GR-2 except in for in a Mazda 626 back in high school. They were a big improvement in handling for my friend's car over the stock shocks.

    Yep, that's what I have. Couldn't be happier...well maybe if the Tiens or JIS were as affordable!
