my plans as of now are tokico blues, a member posted a link where they are ~$375 for the set of strut and springs. they are a good low cost solution, providing a minor drop.

or if you prefer kyb gr-2 & maxspeed springs are also a similarly priced option

Get Tein H techs.... 1.6 in the front which is pefect and only a 1.2 in the rear because the rear is already sorta low.

Match them up with Tokico Blues. (or ills which are so much better I heard then the blues) Would be what I am doing. And its one of the best quailty for the buck setups.

I got the HPK245 (tokico blues and red lowering springs) package for only $387. The front went down 1.4" and the rear 1". I got a smoother ride for a very low price.

The website I purchased them from currently had them advertised for more than twice as much than $387. On their website they displayed

Will Not Be Undersold!! Call us for the best pricing available!!

I informed them of other websites that offered much better prices so they dropped thier price to beet those. They dropped it to $80 less than the lowest price available. It's as simple as that.

Anothe org member took great offense that they couldn't get a large discount like I did and made false statements on the previous forum were that was mentioned. If you'd like more info on how and where to get those low prices then PM me.

Tokico kit is the only cheap way to go.

GR2s are stiffer than a nimrods rectum.
