kyb gr2 vs tokico blues

[EXR_6]

which one of these would be good for daily driving on ractive coilovers??

If you plan on lowering the car more than 2 inches get Koni Yellows. They are the best for a really low accord. At least on the front.

i have the gr-2's they are decent, didnt last very long on my drop. but its a comfy ride.

Both are stock replacement. There's not much performance to be had, but they should last. I've seen both hold up with a drop for a long time.


As for the Ractive coilovers... that's another story.

im runnin tokico blues on front and rear with sprint springs and its a decent ride. I say decent because its not the best ride but im in a wagon so it could be completely different feel in a coupe/sedan.

i had tokico blue with tein s lowering springs on my 90sedan, i personally didnt like them because the shocks felt wobbly, so last week i upgraded to tokico illumina 5 and skunk2 coilovers and i rides much better and handles the bumps better too, mostly because the shocks are adjustable, if you can go the extra mile do it and you wont regret it

I know they're both OEM replacement, but I have heard better things about Tokico blues than th GR2s in terms of life span on a drop.

Coilover sleeves are not the way to go on lowering your car. They also put a lot of stress on the shocks and neither one you are considering will handle them for long, so in the end you will waste money on shocks. Seriously.

I suggest selling your Ractive coilover sleeves and getting a good lowering spring & shock combo. If you want the "coilover sleeve" adjustment, get a real coilover system, but I feel that's a waste since you will not use it for what it is for...racing, balance, full adjustment.

my gr-2's lasted about 2 years.. on a 2" drop.. and DD. i dont think that's very long. my odometer doesnt work so i cant tell ho many miles i put on them, but i guestimate 25-30K.. i hope the new suspension set up lasts a little longer than that!

Tokico Blue HP > KYB GR-2

I actually did like my blues with my eibach sportlines. No bounce and yet still stiff. I though they were good.

Same here. Except I had Ground-Control coilover sleeves. I like my TEIN Flex Damper way better though.

KYB don't know 1st hand but i got the tokico blue with e-bay coilover, At 1st it was good but now I hate it... I'm going to replace the coilover to see if it gets better

True, I'm just going through this as well. I bought Blues with my Megan Racing springs eight months ago, and the blues are dead already. I would highly recommend a performance strut. Illuminas, Koni, AGX's
