kyb gr2 or tokico blues?

[tweety2300]

Ordering struts Friday just curious as to the difference in the stiffness. My only goal is for the rear tires to not scrape the fender wells in hard turns or going over bumps as they do now. But right now I can bottom them out by pushing down with one hand. Also how do they work with the eibach pro kit springs and racing beat springs. And how do they hold up with the racingbeat sway bars? Price is kind of an issue but I can either get all 4 kybs or 2 tokicos but I've read good things about both. I'm not sure if the rear springs are sagging or if the struts are just too weak to hold the car up if they are sagging ill be getting the eibachs. I'm mainly just trying to fix everything that's wrong with it for now I can always go back to tokicos but I'm just sick of the tires rubbing it sounds horrible.
Thanks in advance

Well I'm running the GR-2's with Racing Beat springs and I gotta say, its superb. The handling is great in the turns but surprisingly comfortable over bumps and other road imperfections. The ride height is just perfect, to me anyway. I only wanted a small drop, handling was more important to me. I think the Tokicos will be a little stiffer in the turns but probably not as comfortable over bumps and holes. I highly recommend the GR-2's with the RB springs.

If price is kind of an issue, you may want to look into the Stagg SHS Struts:

kyb are oem and if yo have the original rims you need to change the tires

Hank don't go offering those struts. They're not proven yet.

Do yours bottom out any at all? If I take a hard turn or go over a dip on the interstae it hits the fenderwell that's all I want to fix really handleing isn't a huge issue as we're probly trading it in by the end of the year.

I have Tokico blues with Eibach springs riding on 18"s and I don't rub at all unless I corner hard with a car full of people. I love this setup but I've never had a good suspension on any of my cars until now so I can't compare to anything else

I would say the blues are more performance then the GR-2's. I personally would get the blues. Had GR-2's on my old ford probe, they weren't bad but pretty much the same as stock, I was unimpressed with them.

The deciding factor I'm hearing in this is.........."we're probly trading it in by the end of the year". Why spend any extra on it than you have to if that's the case? Go with the cheapest thing that'll go on it.
