so my shocks and struts are shot to hell and i need to purchase new ones asap but dunno what to go with...i remember seeing and hearing about kyb gas-a-just shocks all the time but are they cheapo crap shocks and struts or are they good..i dont wanna spend more than $300 for the kit so im pretty limited2myselection...i have also seen tokico hp performance shocks and struts for around $270 and kyb gr2/gas-adjust for around $240...which are better or is one too stiff or too soft..also..does kyb not make gr2 shocks AND struts ~ would i have to get 2 gr2 struts and 2 gas-adjust rear shocks? it seems to me that you have to use a different model shock and strut on 1994-1998 gt's...i want something pretty stiff but not so stiff that every little bump i hit feels like i went over a pothole..any help is appreciated

If I couldn't afford Bilsteins, I would choose the Tokicos.

i forgot to add this...how well to lakewood 70/30's and 50/50's handle?..are they like buying really soft shocks that are only good for drag racing or do they handle well also...i hear that a big problem with sn95's is their bad weight transfer off the line so the lakewoods should fix this problem i assume..but i dont want a car that doesnt corner well so i dunno if they'd be a good decision so where to they stand against the kyb's or tokico's as far as stiffness?
