Worst strut ever.


I put some monroe struts on my other Cav, they sucked. worse than the failing stockers.

Dont waste your money. Put it towards the new struts.

not worth it imo. if you lower it now you have to take the time out to lower it. then get it aligned. once you have the new struts then you have to take time out again and get it aligned again. imo your just wasting time and money

I had the set up on my coupe. It rides rough and the struts last 2 weeks. Bad deal.

The GR2 is designed as a stock replacement(one of the best from what I've seen)

The AGX is designed for lowering or is it least capable of it

The cheapest you can get out on struts and still have what is an upgrade over an oem strut is to get a set of Tokico HPs. I know there are people who complain they aren't convinced they are anything more than stock, but Tokico says otherwise and has a solid rep in the industry. Plus I've heard of a few others finally using the HPs, and they're getting good results.

That's my 2 cents anyways, you can usually snag the HPs for like $278ish with free shipping off of ebay. If you can get a set of monroes for cheaper than that at a local store I would be quite surprised.

These Tokico HP's are only warrantied up to 1.4 inch drop, although I HAVE heard some good things about them when there used properly, any how, get the AGX's for your car.
