Re: KYB Struts (TRD4reel)
Good find! I wonder how similar they are to oem? I thought that some one said that ours were kyb s. If some one has a blown strut it it would be great for them. I wonder if they will work with a 2" drop?

Re: KYB Struts (TRD4reel)
I just looked through my old e-mails to see if I hadn't deleted a reply I received from an e-mail I sent to KYB, but it's gone. It had to be over a year ago now I asked KYB if they are going to bring out a stiffer aftermarket strut for the Vibe/Matrix and their reply was that they are planning on bringing out a replacement strut, but the dampening in it was exactly what is in the stock car. (KYB makes the O.E.M. struts) I can't remember what model KYB it was though. I can't remember if it was the GR-2 or not.

Here's the actual link to the site. http://www.kyb.com/catalog/ind...&y=16I don't know why, but there's not one other dealer for these struts. If anyone does happen to find em. Please let me know. If it's true that GR-2's are the stock struts, I won't have to buy new struts.Inder Singh

I know it's a long shot, but I'm wondering if the part number KYB lists on their page for the GR-2's would be the same as the one stamped on the Vibe's oem.The KYB's website doesn't list another model of strut "below" the GR-2, so I'm wondering if it's the same strut. I hope I'm wrong though. Some nice stiff struts would make the Vibe a blast to drive.

Re: (FusionVGT)
KYB replied to my email and said that they would not work with a 2" drop. Must be oem spec.
