What are the best coil springs to go on a 1994 Buick Century with KYB GR-2 shocks and struts?
Apr 24, 2007 by switchblade24315 | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a 1994 Buick Century and i've been starting to upgrade it a bit, since i can't afford a different car. i want to know what the best suspension parts are, i've already got KYB GR-2 shocks and struts, and i need to know which coil springs best compliment them, so i get a good ride.
The real coily kind. Check at Autozone.

I had a 1992 Century, the same car. Mine came with a bent axle, because the previous owner had been hit in the side. Anyhow, the axle I replaced it with came from a Century station wagon. Since I had it apart anyway, I tried the station wagon springs on mine...they're a bit stiffer, as the wagon is heavier in the back than the 4-door, but it improved the ride quite a bit. Only negative was going over speed bumps, it was quite a bit rougher than stock...on the road, though, I liked the improvement.

Moog makes variable rate springs for it, the front should be easy to get, but the rear you may have to order. they give a stock ride height with a firm ride and extra support, when and if needed. should be available from most auto part stores.

kyb shocks acura integra 96-01?
Feb 21, 2009 by jeffrox | Posted in Acura
ok well i got these kyb gr-2 rear shocks off a acura integra 4dr model. i have a honda civic 92 hatchback dx i was wondering if these kyb's will fit my car. im pretty sure it will, but i just want to play it safe and make sure. thanks fir the help.
I think it should work, I have heard that the Civic, CRX, Del Sol, and Integra are pretty much modular amongst themselves.

IF ALL THE SCREWS GOES IN PLACE THEN IT FITS. I THINK I REMEMBER READING SOMETHING ABOUT CIVIC STRUTS THAT FIT INTEGRAS SOMEWHERE ONLINE.

1965 Mustang KYB shocks which is best?
Jul 11, 2008 by Jeff | Posted in Ford
I'm putting on brand new shocks all the way (front and rear) on my 1965 Mustang. Would love to hear opinions on which set of these KYB shocks are better suited.
1. KYB GR-2 LOW PRESSURE GAS MODELS (SILVER) FOR ALL 1965 TO 1970 MUSTANGS
--- or---
2. KYB Gas Adjust (KG4517 Front) & (KG5517 Rear) White 1965-1970 Mustangs
If you have any other suggestions about different shocks that would be appreciated as well. I'm looking for a firm but not stiff ride. Thanks for your time and suggestions.
Don't know KYB.
I used Bilstein and Monroe on my hot rods years ago. Bilstein began the "gas pressure" type shocks. IDK if Bilstein is even still around though.
My '66 dodge Coronet had torsion bars on the front and leaf springs on the back. I switched out the rear for Monroe Air shocks and had Bilstein Nitrogen gas shocks, Heavy Duty with 60/40 ration on the front. It ran and handled great but that was more than 35 years ago. I'm sure things have changed a lot. It had a Hemi, and I wish I still had it.

What shocks are better ?? Gabriel, Monore, KYB, Bilstien?
Sep 21, 2009 by Rob C | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
replacing shocks on my 86 cutlass supreme. Whats the better shock? Gabriel? Monore? KYB? Bilstien? I like a stiff ride with a little height added if possible
I have KYB shocks on my 67 chevelle and they made a big difference in ride and handling but your not going to raise the car any with plain shocks, if you want to raise that car in the back get some air bags that go inside the coil springs.
