OhShift!

I am looking at picking up a set of decent Shocks for my car (2000 Civic Coupe), and am having difficulty deciding which ones to get.

Currently I am looking at:

Dropzone Gen II's and KYB GR-2's.

The Gen II's I can get for $180 shipped, new. And the GR-2's I can get for $210 shipped.

I am hearing alot of mixed reviews about the Gen II's, and with the GR-2 the response tends to be good, but not "wow". I understand for what I am paying I'm not going to see a "OMGWOW", but I want a decent ride.

Anyone have experience with either of these and care to share some thoughts? Know any other shocks for around the same price?

Thanks in advance.

Well gr2's are basically like a replacement of oem. They are good struts, but I would prefer either some agx's or some tociko blues. The blues feels awsome. Or if you have the cash just go full coilovers depending on what your looking for :look, ride comfort,or handling. Can't have all of them.

If you're using the struts with the stock springs, you're not going to get much of a "wow" factor anyway, unless you're just talking about the difference between the new struts and the blown OEM ones. If you want "wow", add some stiffer springs (lower isn't a bad thing either) for better body control, and maybe a set of anti-roll bars.
