Edit, I just looked and the Bilstein's are only $85 dollars more. I'm going to go with those.

Any comments about them, how they perform against the GR2's, etc?

Look closely, the background contains Toyota Prepped car, specifically 94-99 Celica GT

Caged with suspension goodies, some minor breathing mods, and race fuel.
That's pretty awesome. Guess I'll be going with the Bilstein's then. smile.gif

Aren't they adjustable?

Bilstein are NON adjustable. Only adjustable for our cars would be KYB AGX and Koni Yellow.

Gotcha. I was confusing them with the Koni's.

You sure? The Bilstein website says it's a full assembly.

But if that is the case, should I just get the full KYB's for the front, and the Bilstein's for the back?

i wouldn't mix shocks....either get all kyb or all bilstein and i would go with Bilstein.
mine are mixed since i blew one front bilstein

Oh ok. I want to get the Bilstein's, but I rather not rebuild my factory struts, just seems like a pain.
