Are these the right shocks for our cars?
I'm confused by the difference in price on summit compared to other vendors its a significant difference.

Also are Kybs any good ? I've used the search function and came up with some mixed reviews.

KYBs on my GN for years. No issues. Rides nice but not too firm. Price point is very good as well. Im running the GR2s.

The rear shock from Summit is correct. The front shock from Tire Rack looks correct but shows no Manufacturer's Part Number. I believe the correct Manufacturer's Part Number numbers are 24009492- front and 24009294- rear (yes, last 4 numbers are switched).

Like everything else, opinions vary between Bilstein and KYB. I have run both and found Bilstein to be the superior shock. Kirbins sells Bilsteinl, or Oreilly's if you want to purchase locally.

Ill probably go with the billstiens

I've run both the KYB's and Bilsteins. The Bilsteins give a firmer ride. It boils down to personal preference.
