Need struts....recommendations??

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

Blew a strut on my 2001 Accord, going to replace all 4 seeing as the car has 100,000+ miles on it...

Budget is $300, not a dime more, for 4 struts. I know that's not going to get me anything special, but I don't plan on dumping loads of money in to this car, and that's really all I can afford anyway...

Not exactly what to look for, but I know KYB and Tokico are good brands....

Was thinking KYB GR-2, $220 shipped for the set.

I had Monroe SensaTrac struts on my Buick back in the day, and absolutely LOVED them, they were perfect for that application. Ride was superior and still maintained decent handling. This time around I'm looking for something that's going to be a little more aggressive than the stockers, but still maintain a decent ride quality...For my Accord...

For all you car guys, help me out here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

If your not lowered, the KYB GR-2's are a great factory replacement.

My first choice would be Bilstein's, but there a little pricey at $136ea. I also agree with ^^, the GR-2's would be just fine.

Have KYB's on 2 of my vehicles. They're fine. Good solid choice.

The GR2's are not that great, especially if you plan on lowering in future and not replacing. My brother has an 99 Accord and he just Bought Tokicos. My Grand prix is lowered less than a half inch and the GR2's didnt last 20k miles.

KYB GR-2's

The work well with stock springs and lowering springs. I had a set installed with Eibach Pro-kit lowering springs. Car handled like it was on rails.
