Recommendation for Shocks?

They are an OEM replacement shock with slightly greater damping than the stock units. I've enjoyed them in my previous ride (Eibach lowered Talon) and the ride comfort was maintained while still controlling the stiffer lowering springs adequately.

Good Luck!

KYB GR-2 is suitable for Yaris right?

Thank you.

Gr-2 's are only a good "upgrade" if you blow your stock struts/shocks out . Imo stock shocks are better . If you need to go with gr-2 don't pair them up with any spring lower than like tanabe nf210's or they'll blow-out in about 2 months . Bare mininum go with a set of blue's or save a get some megan or basic tein coilovers , only about 250 more than the 500 a set of blue's/tein s tech's or tanabe springs will cost you .

Yeah Tokico blues are the best for the price . I 've ran blues on 3 differnt car's i've owned all with at least -2 lowerd springs and never blew a strut out . Good performance strut and pretty "firm" feeling over stock.
