natman128 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 After 2 weeks with no responses in the GS section, I'm going to try this here: My 2002 GS300 has 80K miles and the struts are getting a little weak. This is a street car, I do not plan on autocrossing it, nor do I consider it a sports car. But I would like a bit more damping than stock, just enough to take the float out of the ride. New OEM? KYB? Bilstein? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I had KYBs as replacement shocks for electronically controlled factory shocks on my 89 Mazda MX6 GT. The OEM shocks were $1200 + installation. The KYBs were far less. The ride with the KYBs was good - more on the plush side. I really like Koni shocks but they may not be available for your car. It may be worth a look though. Bistein has been around for a long time. Expect a bit firmer ride than OEM with better handling. Of course each shock manufacturer makes more than one variety. You may consider calling a factory representative to discuss what you are looking for vs what they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
