The KYB's are what I have had on my car for the last 3 years and I have been happy with them as far as just a daily driver strut.

 

do they seem to perform well when you drive it spiritedly?

 

They seem like they do to me, but I have never done any autox or anything like that. They are significantly better than the no name shocks that were on it before. I'm in the same boat as you are, I would love to get some Konis or Bilstiens but just can't afford it. I think for the price range the KYB's are probably the best you can get.

 

i have the kyb gr2 struts and shocks..they are really good at an affordable price,,better than monroes...much better,,,but you can get better for sure..but $$$...with new coils and the kyb 's and new 16' tires,,my car handles great..

 

thanks for the help in helping me choose, i think i will go with the kyb.

 

no problem, if you car is like mine,,just a summer/ weekend car ...the kyb shocks are really good, i have pushed the car on curves and it's great,,also the kyb's take bumps really well...like i said, like everything else there is better and better,,just depends what you use the car for and of course ..$$$,,,good luck..

 

yes sounds like id use it the same way. summer and weekends. nice to know it handles curves well and bumps. i tend to push the car hard at times so thats a plus and not to mention all these country roads i drive on.

 

out of curiosity...what kind of mileage are you getting with your 350? and is it stock?

 

Perfect timing !! This site is the best resource for Anything on the Third gen camaros. Thank you. & Thank you all.

 

hi , gas mileage isn't great, but not bad...it's a 350 L82 from a corvette with a 4 bbl carb and edelbrock rpm intake, hot (rough idle) cam ..unfortunarely don't know the specs, headers,no egr-no cat,smog pump..2 3/4 exhaust to the back...i don't push the car because i like to drive and just have fun, especially with the T5 now,,i love the gears but i don't want to damage the weak T5's...i use the car weekends and therefore not really look at the gas mileage, but i have noticed on the highway it does quite well with my 3-23 gears..i like the edelbrock 1405 with elec choke better than the holley double pumper i had before, it seems like it uses a little less gas , but still takes off and drives nice...
