jb1200 Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yeah I just ordered a set of MR2 KYB GR2 rear shocks to start off with. I have 2 sets of 280zx strut casings so if I dont like the GR2's I will go with the KONI adjustable race shocks. Quote Link to comment

DRIVEN Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 The pics/post ratio is way off. Almost 5 pages since the last one. :poke: 4 Quote Link to comment
jb1200 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Well broke down the struts today and found that they were housing a baby blue shock insert. Ran the part number and they say its a Monroe Sensa-Trac Strut Cartridge. Can anybody tell me if this is a good shock or garbage? 1 Quote Link to comment
