my buddy has em in his gsx which i have ridden and driven in. his car is dropped on h&r springs with the gr2s so about a 1.7 or so drop and the ride is pretty nice. i dont think you will be disappointed. roads suck here too btw.

i hate them...from what i hear they are jus a tad better then stock...but the ones i had sucked some dirty monkey ass. I prefer stock on some lowering springs better then them metel stacks of shit.

well the only reason i chose these is because im still on stock springs ... so there is no basic reason for gas shocks .... these springs = sway ... so i figure the oil based shock is better suited for the everyday

Im running GR2's now with Tein S Tech springs....not too bad IMO. although, overall they are just a bit better than stock. stock replacement pretty much...if money is an issue go with these. if not...go better.

I'm thinking about getting a set of these. I have a set of coil overs on with stock shocks. Will the GR2s cut down on the bounce I suffer from. I notice a big difference in handling with my coil overs on, I just hate the bounce in the ride.

Yer gonna blows these cheesy sacks of shit out within the first month you have em on coils. My rears lasted 2 weeks and i blew em out with my skunk2's. Fuck GR2's IMO
