    Now is this from a personal experience standpoint? Or is it coming from a vendor standpoint?

    If it's the latter , I'm going to be moving you down to classified section.

      The KYB Gr2's are comparable to the Tokico Blues. They are both great for a mild suspension set up

        I'll have to disagree. not that they are bad but there true purpose is to be a better stock replacement. The warranty is voided if you are lowered, and they just arent made to handle it. will they blow out right away with aftermarket springs? No but they still arent made for it. more opinions...

              well, my i may be off base with my conclusions but my friend does have them on his 4dr gsr with eibach sportlines (2inch drop) and has absolutely no problems with them. None of them have blown and he has had them for well over a year. He has taken me on rides in his car multiple times and the ride in my opinion is equivelant to a tokico blue set-up which I had originally before I chose to upgrade to the agx's I have now.

              my $02.

                This is good to know... As the GR-2s are all we use as replacements anyway... I get pretty good prices on them too, if anyone needs them...

                  Coming from me

                  Coming from me. I think there a nice ride but true it does void the warranty if lowered to a certain limit i believe i've had the Gr2's for over 5 months they ride great to me.

                          Lithium....Eiback sportlines are hella stiff and to put them on GR2's wouldn't be a reliable setup IMO...them babies will prolly blow sooner than lata but we'll see how long they last

                              Figured I'd actually quote the good price I get, in case anyone needed it. $65 each for fronts, and $50 each for rears.
