If money is no object, I'd say go for the Koni Yellows, as they are the best shocks that are readily available in the US.

Like coomer says....if you got the money go for the Koni yellows.
Otherwise, like me, go for the KYB GR-2's. |

Ok, you can buy the fron struts and just bolt them on. are all the rear just the cartridge? I saw some for the rear on nopi that weren't cartridges fot the rear. Just curious.

If you get the Koni Yellows, then the rear will just be a cartridge, meaning you'll have to cut open the strut and weld some stuff to get the new cartridge in. If you get the KYB GR-2s, the rears will be the entire strut, which is much easier to install because you just replace the old strut. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

If you have the money, get a JIC coilover setup.

Charlie, why do you think kyb's suck? Also, how much rougher will the ride be with kyb's front and back?

My ride isn't a whole lot rougher than stock with my KYB GR-2s and Eibach Sportlines. I think Charlie means they suck because they're simply the OEM struts for our Celicas.
Does anyone know, are the GABs just the shocks(Like Konis) or are they shocks and struts(Like the KYBs)? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Well since money is never an issue for you, i say go Koni.
I'm just surprised you don't throw in some "Japan Only" option that would piss everyone off if you got them. |
