patgizz Posted July 24, 2004 Report Posted July 24, 2004 has anyone tried the monroe reflex struts yet? i guess they are their "performance" type. i'm curious to hear as i need 4 new struts and the fronts are only $8 more than normal ones, the rears are double but it could very well be worth it.

90TGP Posted July 24, 2004 Report Posted July 24, 2004 The Reflex are pretty much the same as KYB GR2's. The local places wanted double the value of tirerack.com's GR2's for a Reflex. :shock: Quote
WhiteOut Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 How do we know that they're "basically the same"? What does that mean exactly, are we talking internal valve rates here or fluid pressure/viscosity? What qualifies them as basically the same? Because I've got to believe that if Monroe could sell them at a cheaper price than they would, the price discrepancy isn't there just because. Quote
90TGP Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 I couldn't justify putting down $125 each for a non-adjustable strut. If they were Koni yellows, I could see the high price. Quote
Brian P Posted July 25, 2004 Report Posted July 25, 2004 I bought all 4 for my '89. Handled really good, think of it as stock ride with much much better cornering stability. Still was overall comfortable, just be sure to buy dust boots for the rears. Quote
