hey Huso, I know some people run GR-2 with maxspeeds no problem....i'm sure the GR-2s can handle the maxspeeds since they are a conservative drop....if your planning on something harsh like STECH, its recommended to go Illuminas or Konis so it can handle a drop like that

 

thanks andrew....i'll look at some tonight, and might order me some....
good luck with ur max, iam sorry for last night bro...
peace

No problem with my GR2s

 

do u have maxspeed springs also?
if u do man....than iam 100% sure that i'll get some kyb-gr2 struts
thanks

GR2 are not high performance struts. They are not warrantied when used with lowering springs. Get HP or Illuminas because Tokico will warranty the struts with a drop no lower than 2 inches. Gr2 are just good replacement shocks for use with your stock springs and yes HP are also very good with just stock springs.........

 

Save your pennies for a few more weeks and get illumina's.....

 

i have been using gr-2s with maxspeed springs for about 2.5 years now. no issues whatosever.

 

idk....i kind of came to conclusion after talking to some ppl...and yeah i'll have to wait couple more wks or even less ....and than i'll just order illuminas....Because iam planning on dropping more in a year or so...prbly with tein s techs....Iam a teenager lol...and i really want it to go low...but i'll give a shot to maxspeed springs...if not low enough, i'll just get some tein s techs.....
thanks guys

That is not correct. Quote taken directly from KYB's website

"The warranty does not apply to shock absorbers which have been modified, improperly applied or installed, or installed on vehicles used in racing or for commercial applications. The warranty is void if the product is used on excessively lowered (over 1.5") vehicles or in an aftermarket coilover suspension system. "

So if you are doing a mild drop they are covered under full warranty

Here is the full warranty info from their website.

SR runs the same struts on his teins s techs that used to be coupled with eibach springs. blu also ran the same strut on the same s techs with no issues.

 

I've run the KYB Gr2's with my HR's and I'm quite happy with them.
