maxspeed will give you the closest to stock ride while providing the benefits of being lowered

I got em... its not overly harsh, definitely less harsh than S-Techs.... ride is 7.5 out of 10 with stock being 10... handling has improved a ton after I got em (with Tokico HP struts)...

Do a search... there are already many threads out there that have discussed this... here's 2 of em...

Btw the best advice I'd give to anyone is to find someone with the set-up ya have in mind (and other set-ups, for comparison's sake) and ride in it so you know that you like it yourself... everyone else is gonna claim that they have the "best combination" of struts & springs but I think that because its such a personal preference, you'd be better off trying it out for yourself...

It is a soft spring for hte drop it gives you. The ride is fine, I have the GR-2's paired up with them. If I had Illuminas, ride would be close to stock.
