yeah i'll defenately post pics of the drop and im really hoping it handles good..but another quick question I know I need shocks cuz my stock are no good for my drop. so if I go to autozone and buy any shocks they will be good? in other words I can but any kind of shock as long as its not factory?
true that they are LIKE oem replacements but it also states that the gr-2s work with lowerings springs just wondering because my front left shock just blew out looking for the best bang for the buck opinions pleaseee

what states that gr-2's are good for lowering? theyre really not. theyre stock replacements. my friend had quite a few gr-2's before he wisely decided to stop wasting his money on shocks that kept blowing out. even on kyb's site, its says "The best choice to restore OE performance and normal driving conditions", lowering a car is not "OE performance and normal driving conditions".

ive heard HP's (blues) arent too great for a sub-2" drop, but i think theres been people that have ran them without problems, with at least a 2" drop. i know one guy here used to have the blues paired with skunk2 coilover sleeves and he was fine. tokico makes a great product, i used to have the illuminas, and they were great. i would suggest the blues. the ksport springs only go 2.25" and 2.5" anyway, so i think youd be fine.

I have shocks and springs for sale. check my for sale thread.
i had ksport gt spings on illuminas before i got my ff type 1's. They give you a great drop for springs and are fairly stiff. Would not suggest pairing them with oem struts or any other oem replacments. I would pair them with tokico illuminas or koni yellows, maybe tokico blues, haven't had any experiece with them but other ppl seem to run these with similar drops. I had about a 1, 1 1/2 finger gap with 215/35/18 tires. You'll need a camber kit in the rear at least. I also removed the rubber bushings on the top mounts which gave me an extra 1/4'' to 1/2'' and didn't make any noise over bumps either. (i have pics with them on when my car it was green, check my page)
