    KYB+Vogtland or Tokico? Help!!

    Found two Shock and Spring combos that seem like the best bang form
    my bucks haha, can't decide between them..

    KYB GR-2 front shocks
    KYB Gas-A-Just rear shocks
    w/ Vogtland Springs

    Or

    Tokico High Performance
    Front and Rear Shocks
    w/ tokico springs


    Has anyone ever had one of these set ups? Tried out these springs? Shocks?

    both setups are iffy, but if i had to run either, it would be kyb/vogtland combo.

    the vogtlands are good springs and when your kybs crap out, you can run billie sports and you wil love it.

      Haha damn, well for both plan A and B their only $350 shipped to my doorstep.. Which I can afford.. Billys are like $400 for the shocks alone haha then I'd just get h&r race or something up there.. Think the tokico would outlast the kyb set up?

          kyb gr2's aren't a bad set-up. They're adjustable and if they pop you're only out $135 :)

                  we put the vogtland/kyb combo on my cousin's car and i was surprised by how good a setup is. The only downside is that cheap shocks just don't last as long as the high quality stuff so you'll be changing them after 2-3 years.

                  I'd recommend saving up for a few more months and getting the bils sports.

                          I respectfully disagree. I run blues on my dd, and love them. 40,000 miles on them now and never had an issue - but there is nothing wrong with the other set up :)
