For that price, I would definitely get KYB. You can get KYB's on ebay for a few bucks more. Or better yet, just buy the brand new KYB's I have for sale in the bazaar for $175 + shipping.

The guy I bought my 300zx from recently put monroe struts on before we bought them haven't driven that car much but they seem alright. I think there more for replacement and comfort then if your really wanting a more performance oriented strut.

I put them on my alero when I had it, if you aren't used to something upgraded than you wouldn't know the difference. They're just stock struts, thats it, they work fine.

Ive heard that for comfort, Monroes are better, but when it comes to performance, kybs are better.

KYB FTW, one guy at a local auto parts store only uses Monroe's on his vehicle he seems pretty satisfied with them.

I know alot of cars have monroe struts as factory stuff. Personally I dont like them, KYB is better quality. Go with the GR2. just save your money for a little longer and get a nicer set up.
