I lowered my car with Tein H Techs and GR-2's last summer and was thrilled with the handling and while the ride was stiffer I was wondered why everyone made such a big deal about the rough ride after lowering. I noticed a harsher ride during the winter but figured it was temperature related but now it still seems much harsher than it was. Could some other part of the suspension be worn that could cause a harsher ride? I've already checked tire pressure and that's fine. Also my car has about 60k miles on it.

 

mmaybe that's because your switched from the winter tires to the summer tires..mayb you don't remember how hard it was with lowered springs and high performance tires...I tough the same thing when I switched tires on my acura last summer..just my toughts..

 

That just happens to be one of the softest suspension setups out there...

 

lol they are gr2's you can't adjust to the comfort, you should have waited and got the AGX

 

if agx rides harsh in cold weathers, im guessing its the same way with gr2s

 

you really should have waited and got the Ksports

 

harsh huh? try the s-techs and say "harsh" they are the lowest lowering springs and man they are harsh, but they make the max look real good.

 

AGX's ride just as bad if not worse then the GR2.

If you want some ride comfort back with adjustability get the Tokico Illuminas. You can probably put a set of Tokico Blues with H-Tech springs as well. That would give you the softest, smoothest ride on a lowered setup.

 

I've noticed more bumpiness lately also but I'm on Intrax and stock struts, saving up for some illuminas but I also think maybe strut mounts have a hand in it too, there is a little bit of play when I jack the car up from the strut mounts.

 

wud the stechs make ur car bounce like crazy or what???

 

Your GR-2's could be worn out. They have a history of doing so, all by themselves. I had a set on my 3rd Gen and they didn't last more than 50K. Added to that is the fact that KYB says they are not meant to be used with lowering springs.

However, folks do it anyway.
