i'm thinking about pairing these up with some tein h-tech springs. anybody have these shocks? how do you like them? and what do you think about this setup? i dont want a crazy drop but i want something that looks sporty and comfortable. i'm 27 so i dont want a car that's an inch off the road

 

gr2 s are perfect with those springs. they can handle 1.5 just watch out with the potholes, because they are kinda on the weaker side. i will be getting those in the spring

 

also if you have this setup on your car can you please post a pic. i have a 96 gle. also if you have h&r or progressive post them too, thanks

 

what's the difference between the h-tech and s-tech?

H-techs have a higher drop (around 1.5"...comparable to H&Rs). They're more of a performance spring while retaining some level of comfort (as apposed to a pure performance spring like eibachs). S-techs have a lower drop (around 2 inches...comparable to sprints). They're more of a looks spring.

 

awesome, thanks a lot man.

 

i've got gr-2's paired with S-techs.......this is the drop you get with the S-tech's:

 

How long have you had those? I would expect them to blow pretty fast.

 

KYB GR2 are great struts/shocks , for the price you pay for them , they can't be touched. I have them paired with H&R springs and they ride great , even in sub zero Chicago temps.

i've had my Gr-2's for about 8 months now without them blowing; and in those eight months i put about 15K on the car with the new spring/shock combo

 

cant wait till spring to get my hrs and gr2s.

 

GR2's is probably the best value. I've had them for about 6 months on Maxspeed springs and they are fairly comfortable. I dont think these shocks will blow for the life of the car on the Maxspeed springs. I personally think the quality is good. Toyota uses them as OEM for some of their cars.
