Ok, so I'm failry new at buying/selling on EBAY. And when I say that I mean I know nothing. So I'm looking at getting KYB GR2 Shocks for my car, and tein s-tec(sp) springs. My only question is, when you're looking online, are all the KYB GR2s the same? Or do I absolutely have to have the ones that say they're for the 94-99 Celica? Same as the S-Tecs? Thanks for the help!

Both have to be exactly for your car. They aren't all the same. Just watch out for fake S-Techs. Go to Tein USA's website and it'll show you what to look for.

Yeah I saw that, someone actually posted it on here a while back. Good info.
Thanks.

dude, don't buy them from ebay, I bought a set of kyb GR-2s for my 97 celica convertible, and they didn't match, I got ripped off; also they looked kind of fake, they didn't look like genuine kyb's.

Yeah but I'm definitely in need of some new shocks/struts and springs. I failed my MOT for the UK.

I bought some from ebay and it worked out fine, post the link to the auction you bought from.
