sounds like you have purchased...
So this reply will be for the next guy with the same question.
But to tell the truth, I can't tell much difference. I have had KYB and Bilstiens, using the same springs and I really can't tell the difference. I am a daily driver, no AX or much over 80mph and that is on the interstate. We have good roads in Tennessee.
Really!?!??! I swap out KYBs for Bilsteins any chance i get because there is such a noticeable difference to me. I just did one last week where the rear end was getting thrown all over the road due to the KYBs in back, you would hit a bump and the rear would start hopping all over the place and not always in a straight line. Its a 914 I am building for my wife and haven't let her drive it yet as the rear end hop was so bad it felt legitimately unsafe on a bumpy road. Swapped out for an OLD set (made in WEST Germany) of Bilstiens and now the car feels like its sucked to the road. I honestly dont think they were allowing any compression in the rear end at all, probably just as well off to bolt a 2x4 plank in their place.
That being said, I have 2 pairs of rear KYBs for sale for the low low price of nothing for anyone suicidal enough to drive on them.
I may be exaggerating, they may not kill you, but man they are
To be clear, these are he Gas-a-just. I have never had the GR2s.
