oem mudflaps, coilovers or lowering spings

[blue8g]

notice that he said AGX, not GR-2. The GR-2 can be found for a hell of a lot cheaper than the AGX

QFT

although personally I wouldn't bother with the AGX...for a few reasons

-They don't drop you as low
-They're still full length so even with adjustable stiffness they aren't much better at dealing with lowering than GR-2
-They're significantly more expensive

KYB claims that they can handle a 1.5" drop. I don't think they say anything about the GR-2, as they are supposed to be similar to OEM replacements. True they don't drop me as low (in fact I was very very sad when i switched from my OEM struts to the AGX and saw the car was higher), but I like the extra stiffness that they offer.

In the end though, I wish I just saved for coilovers

I did as well, but he says comfort is more important than drop.....so I stand by original statement

Wow this is the first time I've made a helpful series of posts in a LONG time haha

For a budget build to regain lost suspension performance I did choose GR-2.
BUT!!! If I had the money I would have definitely gone with the AGX. The emperical data alone tips the hat in favor, not to even mention all the experience from our senior members here on the forum.

tein/gr2...highly recommend it for a DD

I disagree.

I don't recommend KYB GR-2 for DD specialy if you drop on tein springs maybe for some eibach springs but not for tein's. GR-2's are just OEM replacement and they are not made for drop cars. They don't last that long specialy if you DD your car with the GR-2 and tein.

Just save couple more hundreds and get the coilovers.

just get EIBACH. least drop and most comfortable.

just go with EIBACH PRO KIT, part# 6028.140; lowers front 1.2" and rear 1.0". since the drop is so mild, you will not need to replace your struts (especially if they are essentially brand new) and the ride softness will be closest to stock.

^what he said....I said tein originally, but no way I'm going against one of the guys who knows this platform better than anyone

Like a lot of people have said, KYB GR-2's and Tein S-Techs are a great combo, this is what I'm riding on, I love it, but that's just my experience. Got all springs and struts off ebay, no problems.

Rizzo, you have PM's homie :D

I will have to agree with the other members with the KYB AGX and tein's. Before I had tein's spring with stock shocks and is big NO NO for that, shocks did not last 3 month especially in NYC. I did not have the money for new shocks. But like 4 months now I rocking the AGX adjustable and WOW WOW big big difference. It holds the drop and is a very stable and comfortable ride. Recommendations tein's and KYB AGX for sure! For the mudflats is rare and best thing is checking junkyard.
