I looked over the spring/strut sticky, but still can't decide. My two choices I'm considering are kyb or tblues. Are they any difference in ride comfort and ride height/stance between the two?I know that the spring determine most of what the height will be? What other struts should I consider? By the way I already have the springs.

 

I run H&R with KYB struts and the ride feels better than stock. KYB has a lifetime warranty also.

 

What KYB's? GR-2's or AGX's (do they even sell those anymore ) GR-2's are stock replacements, and AGX's are/used to be adjustable and basically the KYG version of Tokico Illuminas.

I would go w/ Illuminas.

 

I used the GR-2's but H&R is a mild drop and the warranty is good for up to 1.5" drop

 

I was looking at the GR-2's

 

I have the Blues on my H&Rs and am very happy, but if I could do it again, I would get the Illumina's just so I can make adjustments when I want.

 

I have GR-2's along with H&R springs. I don't particularly like the ride quality, particularly in the winter, it's pretty harsh at times. I just purchased Illuminas, hopefully the adjustability will allow me to tweak the ride to more how I like it.

 

Illumina's hands down.

 

Ok now I'm confused. I've been reading a couple of other threads, and some people saying that H&R doesn't really close the front wheel gap, which is what I was looking to do. How much does h&r's really close the gap? I'm not r

 

Ok now I'm confused. I've been reading a couple of other threads, and some people saying that H&R doesn't really close the front wheel gap, which is what I was looking to do. How much does h&r's really close the gap? I'm not really worried about the back. What are my options with out having an extreme drop?

 

i see you're on 20s...its not going to close the gap...here is my car on a dropzones (2" drop) on 19s....no closed gap...best bet is s-techs (i wouldnt) or coilovers




and i only say go coilovers if you want to close the gap..otherwise..do you

 

HRs sometimes give the car that rear sag a little too. I know some people just install the fronts to get more of an even stance.

 

I'm on 22 with 235/30 tires. Don't really wanna bother with coilovers

 

well...thats kinda what you have to look forward too...it probably wont be as bad as stock height, but i doubt very seriously you wont have wheel gap

 

Well it should close the gap plenty on 22s I got 20s on Eibachs im cool how it sit just a little gap but bouts to get some 18s the weight is a killer rims,tires, and air 64lbs I was like F##k that with the clogged pre cat there goes my power to the wheels...Good Luck though..

 

I'm not looking to close the gap completely just a fair bit. So I should be ok with the H&R?

 

Yes, you'll be fine with H&R's.

GR-2's will be fine, but if you can swing the Illuminas based on your budget, get them. Don't forget about mounts and boots.

Where are you located?

 

first off i thought you allready had the h&R springs ? ? and yes you'll be fine with H&R , it will do something to your stance with your 22's "a fair bit" but it wont be extremely noticable

 

I do have the H&R already
Georgetown SC

 

how bout i just realized your car, i'm in GT/PI too. what happened to your rims man? i was never for one for chrome, but your car pulled it off nice.

 

Lol thanks man! Since you said that I remember seeing your car around and on 17. You work in PI? And I just took the wheels off for a bit got some work I'm about to do to the car, and then they will be going back on.

 

haha yea man, that'd be me. i work in andrews now, so i'm always going through town headed home. i hear you on doing work...i got a whole lot more things to do to mine, primarily a different set of wheels. got wifey riding on my old ones on her car now.

if you already have teh H&R springs though, stick with them...but if you dont/about to sell them, i think progress offers a better drop. i had the illumina struts, they were nice. but i dont miss my old setup. like was said...GR-2s should do you good w/ the H&Rs

 

Illuminas...................

 

H&R drops for our cars are pretty subtle so you don't have to go too overboard buying the best struts. However if you really care about the ride quality then go for illuminas and you'll never have a problem.

 

I know that with the lowering springs its gone stiffen it up a bit, just don't want it to be to harsh.

 

illumina price range is $400-500 for a set

 

I have the setup you are looking at H&R/GR-2 and it does not feel harsh trust me I have run with this setup for over a year now and it rides just fine.
