Best deal on KYB GR2's? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

MKEAE92 · 07-16-2010, 01:50 PM

I need to replace my struts in the next couple of weeks. Just found out I'll be starting a job on monday so the money I get from selling something tonight will be used to fund this project.

I really would like to get the Koni Yellows but at this time I just can't justify it to myself. So that leaves me to the KYB GR2's. Anyone have any input on where to get the best deal on them? I see Advanced Auto sells them for 70 each. I checked ebay but it seems like the ones I see at a decent price are just the inserts. I was hoping to just pick up the whole assembly so I dont have to mess around with cutting the strut and putting the insert in. I just dont currently have access to the resources that would make something like that fairly easy like I once did.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

tirerack has them for mid $50s

also, the cartridge type is just for the front on the GT-S, they won't fit the SR5 strut even if it is a cartridge type. also, on stock front cartridge type struts there is no cutting, it's just a big nut that holds them in.

Part #s:
234035
234036
234031
234032

you can google them if you want and try to find cheaper prices than tirerack.

Thanks guys - you rock. Now that I have the part numbers I'll use those to search ebay - hopefully I can get them all at that mid 40's price with free shipping. If so I'll probably order them tonight!

Just confirmed that they are all available at that price with free shipping from that ebay seller.

I'll be ordering them in just a little bit. Hopefully they will get here by Tuesday so I can get them on real quick. With the money saved over buying them from Advanced Auto - I'll easily be able to take it in for a 4 wheel allignment too!

I have a lightly used pair of GR-2 front inserts for the GT-S. What car do you have?
I'll let you have these for $50 + shipping.
I replaced them with KYB AGXs.
