tokico blues vs. kyb gr-2s?

[dsmjrv]

My struts are completely shot out... i am looking for something stiffer than stock. i have had GR2s on a couple Toyotas in the past and they were too soft so i upgraded to the KYB Gas-Adjusts and i was satisfied. i use mostly Bilsteins on my BMWs. i know this car is not a great handling car but i would like it to feel stable and grounded for day to day driving. Are these two options, the Tokico blues and KYB GR2s the only stiffer than stock options i have for an otherwise stock suspension? are there any adjustable sets?

i think they are about the same, all matters on what you want i guess. I have tokicko blues on my car but this question will really have no effect as us 3gee owners have both and will tell you what you want to hear from both. Like i said it all depends on what you choose.

I was gifted this car from my gramps who wanted it out of his side yard. i want it to be my little off road trail car, something i can rally on the local fire roads but still have it perform daily driving duties. i want to keep the stock height and stiffen it up a bit and possibly reinforce the chassis but im not finding much available as far as strut tower bars etc. any recommendations? I already have two fast lowered cars so im hoping this accord will get me by on the trails while i save up for a 4x4 tacoma.

Im thinking of getting the Tokico Blues because i have never had them before and was underwhelmed by the performance of the GR2s in the past.

I had Blues on the front of a stock-height 3gee once and liked them a lot. No experience with the GR-2s, though.

You might enjoy rallycross. The Sports Car Club of America - RallyCross

These cars have plenty of ground clearance if you keep them at stock height.

Oh, and set it up to understeer, not oversteer. You want the rear to remain stable enough that you can control it with braking and throttle inputs. Have you done the fireroad thing in the past? I love it when I pass by trucks that are pulling off because they're afraid of getting stuck.

LOL funny you should say that, i am going to my first Autocross event on the 17th in my 3 series.. funny i never really thought about taking this accord to a rallycross event.. and yes i love offroading of all kinds, i have several nice fire roads that i like to visit but it was mostly done in trucks and i haven't owned a truck in a few years so im excited to get this 3gee trail ready!

Speaking as someone that's done that in a 3gee, don't sweat it. These cars can handle the abuse as long as they are in good shape. The only damage I've caused have been a wheel stud breaking and a damaged axle after going through a really nasty washout. When you get an alignment done, have them use loctite on everything.

I put the blues on my hatch about 8 months ago and couldn't be happier.
