I just got some KYB's GR-2s for my car. Improved the ride a GREAT deal. Cost about 220 for 4, i didnt do the quad shocks yet.

I thought they were great for the money.

I love my Tokico HP Blue shocks/struts (and springs). I found mine at an amazing price on eBay. Had them for over a year and love them!

I run HP's in the 94 and they do a great job, esp if you have a lowered car (where some cheap dampers dont do so well). For frame of reference, the HP's are run with a Prokit.

Had I not gotten a sweet deal on them, I probably would have gone with the cheaper KYB's.

Good luck.

kyb's would be the cheapest bang for buck.

Bilstein. Cost under 500 through www.shox.com. You'll never look at any other shock/strut combo again.

Have em on my 91 LX vert with 1.5 lowering springs. Rides nice and handles well. As stated by Criticman. I got mine on Ebay for like 260.00 shipped for Struts and Shocks (no quads).

How much better than the Tokico HP's are the Bilsteins?

Is it just the ride quality that's better, or handling as well?
