SVT VS KYB GR-2\'s
I need some shocks to get rid of this bounciness I have now and I need to be able to get a suspension setup in my car that will allow me to raise it to get me through the winter in one piece. I have the FC coilovers sitting in a box. Right now I have the oem trend shocks from europe on a roughly 2"/1.5" drop using the powertech springs that came with the shocks. Don't know what the rates are sorry.
I'm trying to keep this pretty cheap.
I don't really want to use the trend shocks with the coilovers unless I have to.
Can't use shortened shocks because they probably will get messed up if I bring the car to stock height.
Koni's cost too much for me right now and I want to wait for other alternatives (kyb gas-adjusts or save up for the real deal bilsteins).
So the question remains which will suit me best for the heaver spring rates the fc coilovers use. The svt setup or the kyb gr-2's? I know the svt shocks should be able to cope better than the trend shocks but I don't know how the gr-2's would compare to them. I know there are very few people running the kyb's so I don't expect much in the way of help, but I figure some of you guys might have experience with them running sport springs on other cars and could shed some light.
