KYB GR2's

[05Cam-Weasel]

ok i just ordered eibach springs that give my car a 1.5" drop and i was wondering if the KYB GR 2's for a 2002 camry would work for a 2005 camry?? They didn't have any for the 2005. Also if they would work, are the KYB GR2's shocks and struts or just shocks?
Thanks for any response!

yes they would fit the 2005's

just go to KYB.com and then find the list that has all the camry years and part numbers... just look if the part numbers are the same...

i believe the GR2's are shocks.

struts

So the question is: on ebay there are a set of 4 GR2's for sale. If I bought those, could I put all four on and I would be set? Also, I have 4 Eibach springs being shipped in right now.

i think it is too early to replace your struts at only 15,000 i read your other treads of the problem you were havent and i doubt replacing your struts will solve that issue

Hey Guys,

I drive a Gen 5 Camry LE, 4-cyl. I have purchased set of 17" rims on 225/45/17 tires. I have a heavy system in the trunk, which pushes the rear lower than normal, and that's why I plan on purchasing H&R Sport lowering spring, since several TN members told me that H&R Sport drops noticeably more in front than rear, and in my case, I hope it will even the car's height.

The problem is, when I called Tire Rack couple of days ago and asked them about the KYB GR-2 struts, having told them all the information that I stated above, the guy told me that GR-2's are not meant to used with lowering springs, and that I should look into KYB AGX instead. I did some search on KYB AGX for my car's application, but did not find any.

Can someone let me know if the guy from Tire Rack was correct about his statement? If so, what would you recommend as for struts replacement?

Thanks a lot.

i believe that the guy from tire rack is correct. when i was tryin to find new shocks for my 92 accord because shocks were leaking caused of my coil springs i dropped my car about 2". this guy from honda fiend said that gr2s are more for stock springs and agx are more for lowerd springs.. so i got the agx's... I also think that you would be better off with the kyb agx, tokico, or other adjustable struts out there.. it will be more stiffer that way and better handling too...

[terrastrife]

GR-2s are only rated for 1" drop, they wont give warranty for applications lower then 1" from standard.


so just dont tell them.

[CamryEvolution]

Thanks for the input guys. But my next question is: neither KYB's AGX nor Tokico's adjustable struts have applications for Gen 5 Camry, do I have any other options that the cost around $400-$500? If not, then am I better off using the stock struts rather than the KYB Gr-2's?

Thanks a lot guys.

i have kyb gr2 struts with h and r springs with about 1.3 in. drop in front and 1.2 in back

handles great

How long have you had the H&R Sport lowering springs on? Because I thought that H&R Sport supposed to drop noticeably more in the front than the rear, like I was told by couple of other TN members.

If the actual drop for your car (after the springs settled) is, like you stated, 1.3 in front and 1.2 in rear, what springs would you recommend for my application? Knowing that I have Gen 5 4-cyl with a heavy system in the trunk, which pushes the rear lower than normal, and I would like a set of lowering springs (not too low of a drop) even out the fender gap in front and rear, you know what I mean?

Thanks a lot.
