Default Kyb Gr-2 Gr2 Struts Shocks Hyundai Accent 00 - 02

I was shopping around for shocks, and i found this on ebay. I bought them about a week ago and received them today. Installed them and they work awesome. Just a little FYI if anyone is looking for new shock and struts for their LC. Buying them here they come out to be around 54 bucks a pop and everywhere else i have checked for prices they were around 84 a piece. This guy has about 9 or 10 left. Just a heads up check it out if you need shocks... Just view the store.

KYB is cheaper and looks better since they're painted silver..looks great with colored drop springs.

almost $11 cheaper than the generic looking monroe's.

but i can't fully understand the japanese instructions...

Same here never had a problem with eBay. Its really all about the feedback postive % and amount of feedback. I usually have more trust with people with 5K feedback than with someone with only 5 feedbacks.

Same experience here. And the shocks work well. Everybody's a winner.

gr2s are a fine oem replacement if you have stock springs but with any aftermarket lowering spring they won't hold up.

Mine were shot within a year and a half when I had my eibachs on the car. They supposedly have 10% stiffer valving then stock but it still isn't enough to handle most aftermarket spring rates. If only kyb sold an agx application for the accents.
