As I posted a couple of weeks ago I installed the springs backwards and just never got around to fixing the job. Well now my car hops more than a lowrider and I guess all of my struts are blown, I only have enough for two kyb gr-2's atm. I was thinking of just switching the springs and only doing the rears for now until next week when I can go pick up 2 more struts from the local autoparts store. Will the Tein S techs sit right with the kyb gr-2's ?

i dont see why not. the tein s-tech springs only lower the car like 1.3 in. so i dont see why it would be a problem. i personally went with tokico hp struts (are cheap) and they work great. might wanna check out that option. my .02

You can use any strut you want to as long as it says its ment to be used for our cars. I recently re-did my suspension on dropzones and kyb agx adjustables and it rides really nice. Be careful though when you install the new struts dont try and hold the shaft while you tigthen the top nut or you will scorch the shaft and break a seal. Anyway I will vote for the kyb agx if you are on a budget. They work great and deliver a real nice ride. And if you have better springs than my dropzones you deffintley wont be disapointed because I love the smoothness of my suspension
Edit: To test if your struts are blown push on the back of the car really hard once or twice and let go, if it keeps bouncing they are blown. And do the same to the front of the car.
