Default Any love for KYB G2 Struts??

Hey,

I need to get struts and shocks, I will be using Ford B springs, not much of a drop. I also want a little better handling but want to retain ride quality, also not doing any crazy driving or autocross. The KYB stuff in summit is like $185 for all 4 pieces, are they ok? I know Koni, Bilsteen are the best way to go, but do I need that or can I get some nice closer to stock ones, Any recomendations?

Thanks

They're a simple factory replacement. They are new so you will feel a ride quality difference.

I priced them from summit. If I was doing hard driving I would go for at least Konis', but just better than stock should be fine for me.

Well the one is. The bottom one is correct, but the top one is a gas adjust, they have the matching GR2 shock for $33.

Yep, i see that now thanks. That price is really unbelievable. I wonder how these would compare to Tokico shocks and struts.
