Shocks and Struts
My suspension is long overdue for replacement, and I can't keep procrastinating on this. I've been looking through posts in this forum, and I've narrowed my options down to three things: 1) KYB GR2s on all four corners. I've heard both good and bad things about these and they are readily available for around $200; 2) Konis up front, via strut cartridge replacement, which I've only heard good things about, but I checked Koni's website and the fronts were $350, and I don't know what I would then do with the rear, as the car is a 96; 3) Order the Bilsteins from Mantapart, which would really be pushing my budget at $650, plus I haven't heard too many good things about Mantapart. Whatever I end up doing, I'll be using Eibach springs. Any suggestions? Somthing I'm missing?

Shocks and Struts
You know, I had some Gabriel Gas Ryder struts (G-56705, G-56706) on my '89 GT and was pretty happy with them...they actually gave a pretty good ride and the car still handled well. The Monroe Sensatracs on my GTZ were good too. I'm not a big fan of the feel of the KYB GR-2s, but that's just me (and I've only tried the struts, not shocks).
