Happy New Year!

I think this is the year for struts. My KYB AGX are cooked.

What are people doing these days? I can’t find any recent discussion on the topic for 1G, specifically what to put in my Eibach Prolines.

I guess it’s all about the $1500 coilivers? But I don’t track the car anymore. Always keep the AGX at half. It’s a lot of $ for the road this car will see. I really just want to get the stiffness back.

Are the KYB GR2 a good option?

They are actually. Had them on my 1g Laser AWD. Still have them come to think about it (in storage). KYB GR2 on eibachs, took corners like a champ and still comfortable. Mine have 1 year of use if you want to buy them.

Nice to hear! Are they proline springs? 1.7” drop IIRC.

Looks like the rear struts are different for AWD. I’ll take a look and will PM you. Thanks!

I don't have them all in stock, but both AGX's and GR2s are still available for 1g AWD.
