GR-2?

I have a 91 RS and i hav had it for about a year. When i was taking the tires off the other day in auto tech the shocks looked very dirty so i cleaned then with rag. once i cleaned them i realized they were not the stock shocks. they were made by KYB and say GR-2 on this side. i always wondered why it handled so good! does any one know if these shocks are any good or should i plan on replacing them for when i get my tricked out 350(which will hopefully be pumping out 400 horses)

You must be referring to the front struts. Nothing wrong at all with the KYB GR2's. AS long as yours are in good shape I'd stick with them. They're great bang for the buck struts.

Relocation brackets and an adjutsable torque arm would be good additions to your list.
