If you end up going with the KYB's, you can get the set on ebay for about $100 cheaper than 5.0 resto. I have them on mine and really like the way they ride/handle.

kyb's are good, I have them on my 89gt, but took off the quad shock to fit a wider rim and tire combo.

Yes, much better! I dont have lots of miles on mine, so I cant attest to longevity, but initial quality is excellent, especially for the price. I bought mine from this guy, cant beat the price!

I've never heard it put that way. The general consensus that I know of is that Tokico's are better liked than KYB - overall damper-wise (price aside).

My feeling is that the KYB's are a great bang for the cash (very hard to beat) but that the HP's can be worth the extra cash, if funds allow.

Since youve already got springs, make sure to replace the spring isolators. I used the poly ones from energy suspension, and I am awaiting shipment on a bumpsteer kit, its just got too much bumpsteer for me to like. i would recommend it if your going lower than 1.5"
