      KYB GR2 kit rear shocks and fronts

      wondering if anybody has ordered these?
      http://justsuspension.com/chevrolet-...r2-kit297.html
      $206 sounds like a decent deal considering you would spend about that much for oem parts. (which i believe the kyb's are just the same as oem)
      idk anybody have any experience with them?

      The only thing they carry for the 2008 aveo is monroe passenger shocks, I'm not impressed with the site. I am sure someone else in here has used the KYB shocks, try a search from them on the forum.

      I will think of a better signature later.

      idk i have just seen threads about coil overs and the rear kybs being to soft for lowered springs.
      haven't seen anything about a whole kyb kit.

      i replaced all 4 with KYB i think they are a bit harder than stock not a huge improvement but well worth the money if you have a suspension issue

      my shocks are getting worn out at 65,ooomi and i wanted to find a stiffer shock to reduce some body roll to improve handling characteristics.

      I ordered the KYBs for my 04 hatch from justsuspension, the customer service was really bad, I was told 2 weeks for shipping. after 4 weeks, I called just suspension for them to tell me they were backordered. after 4 months of waiting, I finally received the KYB GR2 rear shocks and Excel2 front struts. I installed the KYBs at the same time I installed the eibach pro-kit lowering spring. overall I like the ride. their are certain roads I drive on when the suspension is a little rough. aside from the KYBs and eibachs, my car is on 17x7 rims with 205/40 tires, and I have a 3/4" mdf sealed box with 2 tens and 2 amps in the rear. even with the added weight in the back i still think it rides good. several months ago my daughter (she was 19 months at the time) and I made a 1 way 300 mile drive with no issues from the suspension.
