Progress springs with Tokico Blues or KYB GR2's?

I am looking to lower my car and I am leaning towards getting Progress springs. I don't want to spend the money on adjustable struts, so my options are Tokico Blues or KYB GR2s. Which one's would perform better with the Progress springs? and where can I get both of those for a good price? I know Cattman sells Progress springs but are there any other vendors that sell them? and where can I get either Tokico Blues or KYB GR2s? Thanks guys.

To answer your question about gr2's or tok's, I have progress with gr2's. The ride is coo but the gr2's are not aggressive enough for me. Gr2's are really stock replacements. I know u don't want to hear it but adjustables are the way to go. I had some on my 98max and the gr2's don't compare. Hope this helped. And I will be getting rid of the gr2's for either coil overs or tok adjustables

I've tried the GR2 and the Blues on H&R springs. The Blues feel floaty, just like the OEM struts did, and they have a tendency to "crash" into pot-holes, also like the OEM strut. Personally, I don't like them. The GR2's give much more road feel and are more compliant over large bumps which I like better. The rear GR2's are a little too soft and wear out within about 20-25K. I'd recommend using GR2's in front and an adjustable shock in back at a minimum. I've now got KONI's on the rear with GR2 on the front and the ride is quite good. Good luck.
