They just came out so im sure no one has them yet

 

u got a link?

 

http://www.kyb.com/products/shocks/gr2.php

from what i gather they are junk and no improvement over stock

 

Indeed. If they had made the AGX they'd be worth it.

 

i have some, and they are no longer the GR-2's. they are now excel-G's. The excel-g's are replacing the gr-2's because the gr-2 is too soft. The excel-G is much firmer. I have an LS and they are an improvement. If you have an SS i dont know if there would be much of an improvement, if any.

 

are u lowered?

 

on canuck motorsports springs

 

KYBs arent junk, KYB actually makes the SS/TC struts.

 

I had some gr2 on my dsm. they road stock like, maybe a tad stiffer, not much.

 

I can get the kyb'gr2s for $72 ea + free shipping, I just need to replace my front struts & Im not wanting to pay a **** load of $$ on struts.

 

so did anyone get these after? i was thinking about getting them, anyone got any reviews on them?

 

how do these work with lowering springs

 

see my above post. I'll maybe post a review of how they are after i get some more miles on them. I have an LS and they are definitely stiffer than the stock struts. Probably because they are supposed to work for all Cobalts.

 

The Gr-2's are a "stock" replacement, and not meant for any drop.

 

i thought they were bilstein?

 

you are right, they only state that they are for O.E replacement, but if youre changing your struts on a lower model like i did, theyre an improvement. they wont warranty your struts if they blow and youve lowered your car, but i've lowered a few cars on these and never had a proble. Also, they are no longer GR-2's, they're excel-G's now which are stiffer.

 

If your gonna go KYB, just wait for the AGX's. i'd put them on par with Koni Yellows any day, especially for much less of a cost.
