KYB struts/shocks on 92 tona

[janus]

Hey guys,

92 Daytona IROC 2.5CB 5speed, will soon be charged by a Garrett TII and a stock style rad/IC.

i need to get a full set of new struts and shocks in sommer or so, so i thought i'll ask you guys about the KYB GR-2 and the Gas-a-justs. remember i will keep the current springs i have and this is a sometimes-street-racing DD. i currently have PU motor&tranny mounts coming.
i would plan to use the gas-a-just all around, but i saw summit only has them for the rear on our cars, any other shops have them? also, how much of a difference are GR-2 and GAJ, and what about mixing them..?

oh and what about KYB AGX?

thank you,
greetz

GR-2 is soft, soft, soft, and soft.

Your front end will be very floaty.

hey harry,
any alternatives except konis? dont wanna spend that much you know.. well i saw some shops like car-stuff.com also carry monroe sensatrack, what are they like?
any opinions for the gas-a-justs?

thx

[janus]

anyone?

It won't be that floaty with GR2s.

Konis and Bilsteins have been discontinued. All you have to choose from are stock replacements, KYB GR2s, Sensatracs. These will all work about the same. They willl all be better than you worn stock ones, which is what is really impotant.

KYB does not make AGXs for our cars and they don't make the Gas Adjusts for the front.

Get the Gas adjusts for the back and the GR2's for the front. If you have a few extra dollars and alot of time and or skillz, replace all your bushings with urethane. If all you are looking for is DDing performance, this seems adequate. Replace all of your worn parts with better than stock.

hi,

thanks for the input now you mention it, i notice i cant find GAJ for the front, not only at summit but seemingly nowhere :/ i will probably get a full set of sensa-trac all around then.. do you know anybody on this board who has these in use?

any info on which bushings i should replace? as said i got a full new set of johnny's bushings for motor+tranny+alt. i would just want to have a nice suspension-specific shopping list for my next order, which will be in about july/august

thanks

oh, and also if somebody using the sensatracs could chime in her would be very much appreciated, thanks

We have Eibach springs, KYB GR2's on front and KYB Gas Adjust on my Son's 93 Daytona 2.5 Turbo, A568. He is also running 225/45/17 tires, and it handles very nice. Maybe a "Little" floaty in front, but definately NOT bad. We got it all from FWDPerformance. We still have the stock springs, if anyone is interested in USED STOCK Springs. We do have pics if interested.

Just wait, KYB GR-2 front struts will not last long. They lasted about a year with my stock springs in my 89 Daytona Shelby. Then, it's floaty ride and no better than 15 years old struts. When I took the GR-2 out and push on it, they never ever come back up.

Gas-A-Just are alright, they do a decent job.

i asked cindy and they said the kyb front struts they have are the GR2. so i guess i will end up using the monroe sensatracs. i'm gonna order them from rockauto.com. anybody want sensatracs for the front too? they are 45$ and they currently have a "Buy 3, Get the 4th Unit FREE!"
