Suspension

Thinking about getting the KYB GR2's with stock springs for my Maxima. I'm also going to get a FSTB and RSB.

I'm not interested in racing, just day-to-day ride comfort where my commute is 40% city (i.e., potholes, speed bumps, etc.) and 60% highway.

Are the GR2's a good option for me? I know the Illuminas are better but they are also much more expensive.

KYB GR2's will firm up the ride quite a bit and give you better handling.

Tokico Blue HP's will give you that "new car like" ride back, there softer then the KYB units, but still provide great handling.

Also the RSB will harshen the ride a bit. If you are only interested in comfort then skip the RSB.

Don't buy AGX's for a stock ride. They're harsh.
