I think it is a really good deal, but alot of people haven't had much luck with KYB struts for the SHO. Maybe these are a revised strut.

yea, I have seen alot of people post negative comment about kyb's, but for just about $300 for a full set of shocks/struts, springs, and mount plates.. thats a great deal. I dont plan on having my car too much longer anyway, just want it to ride smooth for another year???

The problem is with KYB GR2s with Eibach springs. The front struts don't have enough rebound dampening. But, they should be fine with stock springs.

Not familiar with those eBay KYBs, nor the springs they used.

That's a stunning price. I don't see how they can do struts, springs, upper mounts and bellows for $260 and have anything left for profit unless it's all fabbed in China, or this is all really old New-Old Stock, and somebody bought it up for pennies on the dollar.

I suspect this is generic Taurus spring and damping rates, so if you put these on a SHO, you may find it somewhat squishy.

I agree with Ron, the GR2's are good for OEM Taurus and Taurus SHO spring rates, but lack the rebound damping for Eibachs.

In the BMW world, KYB means "Keep Your Bilsteins." ;)
