thanx, time for some kyb agx's

no gr-2's are not stock, gr-2's are totally different. they are close to stock, but they are a little stiffer. kyb made the stock struts on the car, but they are not gr-2's.

They are stock,if they were gr-2 they would have the gr-2 engraved on the shock, like my dads civic shocks, car hugs corners, but the ride is very bumpy, and my left (drivers) side shock started to make clunking sound when i hit a bump.

KYB makes the stock shocks, but they are NOT GR-2's
