    Been recommended those 3 but nobody I talked to could really give me a definitive reason why one would be better than another. So out of the 3, which would you get and why? Thanks for your input in advance.

    Don't do the kyb Gr-2 they are ass. I recently put them on my car and within a two week span the fronts blew. I think they are a stock grade replacement and your money should go else where.

    ^^^^^ Ya it will depend on if you want the adjustability. Not really a fair comparison.

    Okay, my mistake. So let's say they're the non-adjustable type. Then what?

    The 2 latter choices are OEM replacements or only slightly better. What springs are you mating these shocks to?

    Pretty much what I'm after. Not looking to lower my ride so much as making it a quiter, non-bumpy ride. Intending to pair them up with Eibach springs.

    Tokico HPs (blues) are what you're after then. Fairly cheap, offers a small and reliable upgrade over stock, and will mate well with the Eibachs which are also a small upgrade over stock.
