Anybody have these shocks/struts? Any info on them, good, bad, etc..

I have some megan coilovers (well i will as soon as they get off back order), i was gonna run them on my stock shocks. But i think the shocks may be getting bad, dont think they have been changed since the car was born. i have a 1997 Hatch

I want to lower it 1.5-1.75"

 

The KYB GR2s are OE replacement shocks. Matched with the Megan Racing coilvers, the ride will suck and they'll blow out in a relatively short amount of time. The Megan Racing coilovers rates(450/350) are way too high for stock shocks to handle.

You'll have to spend some more money on better shocks like Tokico Illuminas, KYB AGX, Koni Yellow Sports, MAYBE even Skunk2 Sport shocks.

 

ok, thanks. what about Tokico Blues (HP)??
For regular street use, daily driving?

 

Tokico HP's are comparable to the GR-2's, still just OE replacements and won't handle those spring rates..

 

thanks, i was just about to buy some. I guess i'll go with the Skunk2 sport shocks. Good lookin out!
