Bang for your buck..struts/shocks

I've went through a bunch of threads and it seems to me that bilstein or koni are top of the line stuff. Can you guys through me some prices or maybe a cheaper/just as good product. Thanks

For the price, the KYB GR2 struts and Gas-A-Just shocks are darn good. $170 should cover all four corners.

If you can swing it, go for Bilsteins or Koni, but I also have the KYBs on both my cars and am VERY happy with them. Be sure to check the classifieds often for deals...I got my 2nd set of KYBs for less than $100 with less than 500 miles on them.

I have the KYB GR2s also and like them. I wish i would of went for an adjustable setup though because sometimes i'd like to be able to carve corners and other times i want a decent ride.

KYB's

I had some KYB GR2's (currently for sale) until I switched to the KYB adjustables. For the money, I think they are unbeatable.
