ok so i put my neuspeed race on my 94 accord with stock struts and its bouncy ... worried about blowin out my stocks so im already lookin on ebay ... kybs seem to be the cheapest struts that are any good so im also wondering the same thing as this guy ... agx or gr2's ... cause i found some gr2s for a decent price.

Im thinkin gr2s cuase i dont plan on racing or auto x .... but i want to know if it will ride good again.

why? they're not designed to perform under conditions that a drop of 1.5 or more involves. not to say that they won't handle it at all. i'm on neuspeed race springs with agx's and it's been running fine on the stiffest setting for over two years now. if you don't care about the warranty, then these are what i would suggest.

yeah i like the agx's. i keep them set as stiff as i can because i like to be able to feel the road, and with the drop it keeps the car from bottoming out on these shitty Maryland/DC roads.

i've heard some nasty stuff about all of tockico's. had a buddy that had them on his gsr before he got his teins and they were blowing out left and right and rode like ass. maybe just a horror story form one individual, but i tend to shy away from horror stories like that when it comes to suspension products.

AGX all the way, they are not that much more than the others but way better.

GR-2's are crap. They are designed for OE replacements. I have them on my ground controls and its getting pretty bouncy. Koni Yellows or AGX are good performance struts.
