the KYB's are good shocks if you're looking for stock replacements and/or lowering your car just a bit (like with eibachs). they gave a pretty smooth, OEM like ride. i had them combined with the eibach springs before, and the ride was perfect. don't expect a race like suspension with this combination though, its more for keeping your ride as smooth as possible . i opted to switch mines out for a set of Teins, and the ride with the teins is alot different than the kyb/eibach combination. Tire Rack sells their KYB's for $52 each, and the shipping shouldn't be too bad.

Hey bro,

I have 4 brand new KYB GR-2's in the box I can sell you for 220.00. I actually paid way more than that, but my loss is your gain.

hahaaha. Actually my car was already lowered and had brand new shocks when I purchased the car. I had no idea and purchased these to lower the car. No I don't need them because my car is already lowered.
