and what do they say you should drop the car at with the kyb gr-2 shocks? and I have my car dropped like 3in right now and would it be safe to put those shocks on (kyb gr-2) or would they just blow out after 3 months?

I have them and like them, stiffer than stock, but not too stiff. I don't know about a 3" drop though. No shocks are designed for that. Even tokiko voids the warranty if dropped more than 1.75" or something like that.

I have them now,@ 49 bucks they're okay-not to shabby, they have a lifetime warranty but it's up to you if you tell the guys where you bought them that if something goes wrong as a result of lowering. Let them figure it out. Right now my car is slammed and they are holding up pretty good it's the coilover springs that are toast on my ride, Im going to see how they handle with the sportlines and eventually I will upgrade to Tokico Illuminata, but just from my expreiences go ahead and get the best you can afford now because when it comes to the suspension and Im sure everyone will agree,you gotta spend the cash to get the best results.

I've got them on my car lowered with H&R Sports. I think they're just fine. Go for it, especially at just $50 a piece.

They GR-2s are actually a bit better than the KYBs that come stock on the gst etc I think. The GR-2's are silver colored.
