H&R and KYB GR2

I installed them a few days ago, and what can i say, AMAZING!

the ride comfort is basicly stock, a little bit more tighter which i like very much because it gives you a feel of the road. the turns i usually did at high speeds , i now take like butter. baiscly i am so happy with this setup. the springs arent stiff at all, and i love the drop. not very low and not very high like stock, right in the middle.

i would recommend this setup for everyone out there that wants a better look and better handling without sacrafising much of the comfort at all.

Thanks for the info. I have H&R on stock struts and was considering the GR2 for the price (since the AGX are twice as much with extra parts).

sorry to ***** your post somewhat but I have had the H&R's on for about 8k on stock struts. I am now giving them to a buddy of mine that will be installing this combo on his 02. Thanks for the feedback thats the first I have seen with the H&R and GR2 combo. I myself am switching to tein and gr2

the good thing with the H&Rs is that they are the softest sport spring, so combined with GR-2, you get like stock ride, a little bit lowered, and a lot better handling. i just love it!

How you do combine tokico and gr-2? Does that mean you're using stock springs?

I have the H/R's in the garage awaiting the GR2's(in transit) for my 2K SE. I hope I have the same experience. Did you do the install yourself and how long did it take??

H&R have the best ride over all springs on a 5th gen maxima including stock. Keep going lower keep on feeling the bumps.

Exactly. Eibachs are rough compared to them. Anything lower and you will get the famous shake & rattle from a 5th gen.

Please Explain

I need to know the deal. Whats up with these KYB GR-2?? How do they compare to retrofitted KYB AGX for the 5th gen. And why all of sudden to tokicos suck?
