SHocks...KYB??
Did you guys know that KYB made GR2 Struts for our cars...front and rear shocks/struts. No adjustable. are they any good? or would the AT be the way to go with the KONI's? I need them and the Rear AGX's. I dont want to deal with Coilovers (finally decided) but the stock struts dont hold up to well with the Cattman stuff. I feel a little bit floaty at highway speeds. I want to scrap the stock stuff for better aftermarket components.
Thanks

FYI-I posted the KYB struts a while back on the bad strut poll thread.
From other posts I have read I understand that the KYB struts are slightly better than the OEM ones. There aren't too many options out there right now. Glude, I too am eager to hear how the ride feels afterwards.

One of my friends drives his Prelude on the track, he went from Springs/Shock to Coilovers. The differance was astounding, no bounce, no hop, no sway, just glue, glue glued to the tarmac.

The problem with coil overs i have found by talking with numerous indepedent sources including Progress is that the coilovers available for our cars are not good quality and do not last. True, they have tons of adjustability which allow for excellent performance. Once they go, you have to replace the entire unit, as they are sealed. This is my understanding. I dont know how long they last. perhaps those with coilovers can provide input.

Koni is my choice for both my 240sx and S2000. Not sure if they make it for the Max. Here are some shock dynos:

We've found that the rears make more difference than the fronts (and it's cheaper). We usually recommend customers try the rears, and if they want further performance, upgrade the fronts afterwards. Many end up getting the fronts as well.
