Those GR-2s were the ticket when they only cost $40 each and the only other choices were the super high priced Koni,Bilstein,or Gabriel Red Ryder for $15 each.
Do you have aftermarket springs?
I had a Lancia Scorpion with some extremely progressive-rate springs in it and it worked very well with the gr-2s,was pretty much the only car that did though.The results were always not enough control and/or jiggly ride the other five times.

the front shocks are the same as a supra tt......but the rears are different..you need supra tt springs on the supra tt strut.....then you can use the kyb agx all around..other wise you can use them up front....Jeff

Default Tokico shocks

I went with Tokico Shocks on my SC400 with 235/45 ZR 17's and it is a great compromise between ride and handling...

My car has 68,000 miles.

They were $75 per shock.
