I used to pair up with tein s. tech and gr-2 shocks. During the first couple months, those things were really quiet during speed bumps or driveways. But couple months later, the fronts started to make noise when u passed the speed bumps or whenever u drive up to the drive way or dips. But it's normal when you drive on hwy or on smooth roads. Now, i changed then back to maxspeed and gr-2. The noise is still there......

Any comments?? maybe the shocks are gone?? but i dont feel any uncontrollable bumpings tho....

anyone had this problem?

I wish I could help...but I didn't have them on the car long enough for any noises to appear. I did have a noise once I put the stock setup back on the car...which turned out to be a blown strut

Sounds like you may have a bad wheel bearing. Jack up the side of the car that's making the noise and see if you can wiggle the wheel back and forth.

dude i thinks that the worst combo ever. my shocks are dead right now and by dead i mean..the shocks bottom out on bumps and sounds like my car is breaking inside..the rear has the loudest clunking noise of u go over bumps and yeah i the highway they are good until u hit a bump...the lean on turns now sucks tooo......im just waiting to save up some money and get the illuminas..hopefully they hold up better....gr-2 and tein sucks together i would not recomend it to anyone....

I have the same problem with my H&R springs, but I had it check out last weekend and found out it was my right side lower control arm. Once I'd get it changed, I'll let you know fit that fix the problem.
