Default Sensa trac VS KYB GR2

What is your take on this, which is better...

for all 4 corners Monroe would cost me $731.35 (incl. plates)

KYB would cost me $463.91 (incl plates) shipped from ZZP (im sure we can add 100-200$ custom charges on that)

Now price aside here... i'll spend the 730 if they are a better choice... which will last longer? which will give a better ride/handling

there both great brands.

i have had the sensa tracs personally and loved um. i didnt spend that much, but mine were for a lumina.

where are you looking to buy them at???

most ppl on here get the gr2's. idk why, maybe cause there cheaper. everyone says they are great though.

well i live in the great white north... everything cost 50% more apparently...bs...specially now with the dollar pretty much at par.. i was leaning towards the KYB because they are cheaper in price, but wouldnt get them if they were cheaper in quality you know? i dont want to have to replace them next year... but if people seem to think they are just as good, id be an idiot to pay almost twice as much for the monroe... when i can lower my car, add 2 tower strut bars for the same price with the KYB (i think this is about as much money i can spend on this if i dont buy my GF a ring first though lol)

id just go with the kyb gr2's then. there suppose to give your a 10 percent smoother ride then stock.

like i said b4 just about everyone on this forum uses them with great results.

Shes a 2000 LS, dont the springs need replacing, but if the price is right... i doubt it would be cheaper then buying the struts and lowering springs?

but let me know, im in Edmonton, AB

yeah no, shipping would pooch you on the price but the quick struts for the front were gonna be 165.99 each my cost and thats a complete strut assembly. i didn't know it but monroe doesn't make a quick strut for the rear, or my supplier doesn't carry it. good luck with what you do get.

not just a strut comes as strut, spring, mount, cushions all assembled so its only 3 nuts on top and 2 bolts on the bottom for replacement.
