looking at craigslist today and saw this add http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/250145895.html
just wondering if this is a good deal. it says it fits all rx7s ? but not that familiar with suspensions .

 

no, I wouldn't get it.

first off, GR-2s are stock replacements, they're only a little bit stiffer than stock suspension, so if you're looking for a performance increase I would deffinitly go with some KYB AGXs or something.

second. it only looks like 1 strut for $100. the part number he gives is only for the front left strut. and $100 each isn't a good deal. I just bought some for my daily driver and I think I paid like $60 each or something.

third - they don't make GR-2s for the rear, so you would only be able to change the fronts.

so yeah... don't get GR-2s specially not this one. unless you want a near stock ride with a life time warrenty.


EDIT: and yes, it does fit all second gens. (86-91)

 

don't know if your still interested, but i got a brand new, still in the box, set of gr-2's. never even opened the box. bought just in case i didn't like agx's, but i like 'em so the gr-2's got to go. $200 obo.

 

Do not get them, spend a little more money on some AGX's and you'll be much happier.

 

I have a set of Gas-A-Just KYB's that I haven't used yet.. I'll sell you those to match the GR2's in the front. Atleast you would have a full set of KYB's. I bought them to stop the creaking in the rear, but.. I'm gonna go to a full set of tokico blues or something fun.. not sure yet.

 

Tokico HP's non-adjustables are about the best drop-in, performance, non-adjustables you can get for the money.
Shipping to your door, they shouldn't cost over $300.
In fact, I regularly see them SHIPPED around $250 - $280 for ALL 4!

So, unless you can serious undercut this price, anything else is a waste of money.
