They're about the same price, so here's the big question. Which do people prefer and why? Is one of these struts better than the other?

I hope this doesn't turn into a 3800SC vs. V8 debate!

i think everyone will say GR-2's i have them, (not installed yet) but ive herd NO complaints about them thats whi i got them

tirerack.com has great prices and they were at my door less than 22hrs. after i placed my order


and i think they have a lifetime warranty (if i remember correctlly)

I just got some KYB GR-2's installed the other day and they are HUGE improvement! Although the ones they replaced were shot!
I too ordered them from tirerack, excellent price and service, even to Canada.

I have sensa-trac's on mine. Haven't used anything else. They are pretty good. But I only have experience with them.

I HAD GR2's on my 86 SE and was dissatisfied with them. They seemed to wear out very quickly. I replaced the front shocks with Sensatracks and am happy with them. My rear KYB struts are worn out and need replacement, I just don't feel like dumping another $250 in the car for strut replacement. Even a DIY job on the struts is expensive.

KYB's carry a lifetime warranty, you shouldn't have to pay for replacements IF you have the sales slip.
