hey guyz! i tried searching but i couldnt find any specific answers on the shocks im about to buy..

do u think KYB GR2's would go pretty well with my Neuspeed Race springs? i havent seen any reviews from u guyz about GR2's..

any comment on these shocks would be appreciated

 

If you don't want adjustability, those would do well. If you want adjustability i'd get the AGX, but otherwise, GR2's are supposed to be the shit

 

really? sweet.. im settled then keke

thanks

 

i had neuspeed sport with kyb gr2's and i didnt really like the ride, WAY too soft/bouncy. thats why i got neuspeed race and agx's now and lovin it, but its still a little too soft even with the agx's on the stiffest settings...

 

really? the KYB GR2's have got to be a little stiffer then stock tho right? if its basically the same as stock shocks.. i might have to reconsider

 

are you serious? i am running Neuspeed Race w/ AGX's and i set it at 3F/6R and it's STIFF!... well i guess it's personal preference...

how low is your car? i'm asking because my car is only 2.xx off the ground up front with this setup... any pics?

 

If you can afford an extra 150 bucks, I would get the AGX. Without a doubt.But if you can't, then get the GR2's. Thats basically what it comes down to.

i've been ridin 4/8 for a while now. i tried all the different settings and i actually got nauseous when i set em to 1f/1r it's not stiff enough at all though.

2"? wow, my car is super high. i don't even tuck tire.





edit: P.S. GR2's are like 15% stiffer than stock. they're basically stock replacements.

i vote AGX's. they're worth it.

 

i guess all the neuspeed race springs are different.. my car is dropped supposedly about 3" up front ... but thats what the shop told me..



anywho.. im not gonna dish out another extra 150 for shocks.. ill just get the gr2's.. thanks for the help guyz!

 

here's my car...


The lowest point at the front is measured at 2.7x...




There's only 1 finger clearance in the wheel well... front and back... had to bend my finger a bit to get in...

 

Legendary, is that your trunk or the wing? it looks weird...

 

Trunk

 

trunk although.. i could trick u guyz and say its a custom wing.. ...

but i'd rather not be

 

gr2s suck! I had them on my accord with tein s-techs. Bottomed out all the time. They're just oem replacements. No bueno!

 

wow.. maybe i should reconsider..

any other brand thats pretty good for about 150 bucks?

 

I'm running Tokico Illumina's and I couldnt be happier


I've never bottomed out since I put the fronts on 5, and I leave the rear on 3 (even with a carload of people). Even as stiff as it is, the ride is still damn good. I've been hesitant to move on to coil overs because I dont want to destroy my ride quality.


btw, I'm using Neuspeed race springs as well . (50 series tires instead of 55)

 

^always loved your car.

don't waste your money on the gr2's, they aren't worth it for that aggressive of a drop. you'll be bouncin all over the place. just spend the extra $150 and get a good set of shocks. i.e. AGX's or Illuminas

 

tirerack.com has AGX for $93 each, cheapest i've seen online...

 

i know alot of ppl dont like tokico blues (HP's) but i like the ride quality of mine. but neuspeed race springs are like a 2 inch drop, so your not gonna get the same quality of out like the sportlines or tein s-techs which are only a 1.7 and 1.5 inch drop.

correct me if im wrong.

 

wow thats amazing that you havent bottomed out yet. id kill for that. lol
i was in newark, nj one night, the worst roads ive driven on and my friend driving behind me said i bottomed out so bad i shot some sparks.

 

what was nippon on? just jack his shit. lol

 

he had some sweet coils, what'd he have d2's?

 

i checked his profile and it says that he is on Tein SS w a camber kit.
