those arent bad, i would def pick them up for that price.

the gr2's are a stock replacement shock, so dont expect performance out of them, but dont expect them to be really crummy either.

I had those installed about 4 months ago, and am pretty happy with them. But like cam98aro said, don't expect a performance shock out of them, but they do ride nicely.

It really depends on how much wear has been put on your stock shocks. But comparing them to a set of new DeCarbon's, they're just a little bit better, but mostly just a stock replacement.

I put in a pair of GR2's in the back a month or so ago. $20 a piece is a good price, especially with free shipping, but beware, the ad says "no returns". To me that is a big red flag.

Be sure to double check the part number on the KYB website.

According to one post I read, KYB reports the GR2 is 10-15% firmer than the OE shock.

I am happy with their performanc, especially for the price, and handling better than OE.

Thats a pretty common price. But the shock is a monotube and much better than the gr2. If you can afford it, go for it.

Re: good cheap rear shocks

the gr2's are very good you can get them through summit for 20 a piece too and imo the gas a justs are garbage my friend had them on his ranger they were bad with in 2 months kind of hard driving but not much of a excuse if you ask me

Re: good cheap rear shocks

do the gr2;s make the ride and firmer or bumpier ?

Re: good cheap rear shocks

should firm up your ride and make it a little less "cushy" so to speak. i've got them on my rears (got them at a low price like what you posted), and they work great for comfortable driving and drifting.
