$50 for two good tokicos isn't cheap? That's $25 a piece.

thats hella cheap.

i dont get why its dangerous to drive with blown shocks, mine where toast and i could drive it predictably.

The only thing i really noticed when i was driving on blown shocks is when i would hit a bump or pot hole the rear end would skirt out a bit, but nothing scarey.

also the rear outer tire would bounce on me in a turn, but its just embarassing not dangerous.

and the supsension would travel too much, kind of like driving a mattress.

other than that i knew i needed shocks, and while i was at it i got a set of RB springs.
a good set of shocks and springs is well worth the money.

Not to intrude but KYB GR2 is one of the worst shocks out there. Rebound rate is incredibly slow. Hit a bump and the wheel wants to stay up in the air and not come down in a timely fashion.

= Wheel hop.

Tokico, that's a nice shock.
