So the boots on my rear stuts are torn up, so it's time to replace them soon.
I've searched the stickies and looks like KYB GR2's are pretty popular, but also go soft pretty quickly.. That kind of gives me the sense that thier probably not the best to go with. So I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to go with the KYB's or should I look into another brand? I mean have they been able to hold up for those of you who have put the GR2's on your cars? any input would be appreciated. Cause I know I'm not going to pay $150 each for stock replacements

Eleven-year-old car, strut mounts might still be good, but if you're in there anyway....
Also be aware of the need to likely replace the rubber spring seat isolators (rears only require one per strut, fronts require two). |
