are these any good?

hey guys, i'm still searching around for some coilovers, and i found these on ebay. I've heard many things about KYB GR2's, but can you guys tell me more about these? what are the goods and bads? they seem to be a hell of a deal with lifetime warranty.

GR2s are stock replacements. NOT recommended with lowering springs. Unless it's the Prokit or S-Tech that don't lower much at all.

how long will these last before they'd blow out? and since they're just stock replacements, how would they feel with lowering springs?

not long enough to warrant the purchase price and the installation labour.

if you want lowering springs, get performance shocks
KYB AGX, Koni Yellow, Tokico HP. end of story.
