2G shock struts help

[CONSIGLIERI]

Hello guys !
I'm willing to change my stock shocks and I would really appreciate some help.

I need some near stock shocks.

Which are the BEST cost x benefit ? I don`t need adjustable ones...
- KYB
- TOHIKO
- KONI

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont know if this is what your looking for but I work at OReillys and I sell shocks that are ment to be oem equivalent every day. We sell monroes and kyb and a good set is still cheap compared to most after market sets. I have never had anyone complain about the ride, and most customers come in all the time. I would easily recommend either option for the great stock ride dsm's have!
Hope this helped!

if your looking for OEM then KYB if you want better performance the Konis

For Oem ride choose KYB, then if you want to spend more $$$ choose KONI

If you're lowering it at all, go with Koni. If you're keeping it stock height, any of the the cheap ones will work.

KYB's Excel-G (aka GR-2's) are almost (if not the exact) same as the stock struts. If you're looking to just replace the stock struts with stock springs, just get those. If money is a concern, you can find some cheap no-name struts on ebay for like $40 or less each.

That's depends are you talking about $50 ebay coilover sleeves or Some $1000+ coilovers

I have the KYB GR-2s, they're good stock replacements.

Coilovers - you get what you pay for.

If you aren't concerned about adjustability or high performance you will probably be fine with a good set of non adjustable shocks/springs like the Tokico HP kit if they still sell that.

However, if you are concerned about performance beyond just a daily driver everyone recommends konis / ground controls.

A buddy of mine has a set of selves by konis he wants 75 for but I've never had them before just the spring

Definitely stock . Those shocks aren't designed to be lowered.

I have Tein Type Flex's that are being rebuilt, so I'm rocking my stock suspension right now. My profile picture was on the Teins[DOUBLEPOST=1408148407][/DOUBLEPOST]
