KYB GR2's

So I'm getting close to 100k on my stock shocks and struts and 40k of those miles are on swifts so the ride is becoming a bit bouncy.

So went to Rockauto and grabbed a full set of KYB GR2's and mounts. Anyone have any experience with these. It seemed a lot of G35 guys ran these and like them alot. I will post my review on these next week also as they go in on Wednesday. Price was pretty good got everything shipped for under $400


Don't trust coilovers, had them they KNOCKED lost like 1100$ :/ wouldn't got back at least while I have a X .

I like em with my swifts...they're supposed to be 15% stiffer than OEM "to compensate for other worn suspension components" if I recall correctly, but I'm not sure how that is supposed to work exactly

I assume they're gonna wear faster than with stock springs, but considering the price its still worth the (potentially) more frequent replacement considering the options

I wish they made the AGX for the S Coupe. I had those on my last car and they were great, adjustable dampening front and back

Review on those GR2s? Not really in the market for replacements yet but I do about 25k a year so it won't be long and it seems so few people are ok with the stock ride height there are not a lot of peeps just replacing the shocks.

thanks in advance...
