I'm looking at replacing the shocks on my 2002 ss. I need some opinions on some shock choices.a few that i have looked at are kyb agx fully adjustable, kyb gr-2, tokico hp and bilsteins.i would appreciate any input thanks.

 

the kyb agx shocks are sweet, but i have never liked the way they adjust with the **** on the side, always seemed kind of cheap to me. but I do like kyb's pp line.

 

coni yellows is what i have, sam at stranos can help u out with a good set that will work great on your car and within your budget. he has several different brands and some that are modified by stranos to perform better.

Bilstiens are always a good setup, but that's what your car has on it now. I have KYB AGX's on my Subaru and they're great, the fact they have an adjustable damping ratio is pretty sweet, although I have them set on the stiffest setting all the time. KYB makes a good product, and I would say if you're looking into them get a set of AGX's, not GR-2's.

 

i'd second the kyb agx, i have them on mine. you can set them up to how you like, mine are quite hard but good for handling and work well with lowered cas. have a look in suspension section there are loads of threads about shocks. koni, kyb-agx and blistiens are usually the three players. bang for buck its kyb everytime
