    best struts

    Just install ground-control coils in my p11. My shocks are blown and I'm bouncing in the front and no bump stop in the front. Can I use gr2s with koni bump stops, for a few months till I get my money straight for ksport suspension? Thanks

    Why waste money on agx if hes going with ksports soon, gr2 will be fine for the time being till you go coilover

    I might even consider the china replacement brand.
    you can get regular bump stops as well.

    they come with the boots

    i ran gr2 on stechs on a p11, bouncy.
    i ran hrs on gr2s on a p11, less bouncy.
    i ran hrs on agx on a p11, nice.

    speaking from personal experience.

    With what top mounts? Did you run for a week, same as you seem to run other parts lately? I have 20-25k miles on mine. If these are bouncy, I'm 10 years old.

    you mean too soft? or actually bouncy? this is the first I heard someone say GR2s with Stechs being described as bouncy. I've heard Stech springs being called too soft before.

    i agree on bouncy. after taking a series of corners during the transitions the car has a bounce to it that is pretty hard to control if your some what beating on the car.

    I'll agree that under harsh use they cant do as well as they could. So yeah, I'll give you that under harsh conditions Kid. DD performace for the cheap lower job though? Superb value.

    'Loco' has been running GR2's w/Stechs since before I met him (so before 2005) and he's had no issues since. We installed MEP mounts back in 2006, and he loves them even better. He's put on well over 120,000 miles on them. That's from summer driving only!
