Default deciding on shocks, help plz

ok i need shocks bad.. they will be with either Neuspeed Sport or H&R Sport springs..

these are my two options

KYB GR2 $200 shipped
Tokico HP Blues $265 shipped

i'm kind of leaning toward the KYB because of the price.. i have to make sure that whatever shocks i get, they don't blow.. i'm looking for the most comfortable ride possible.. is there any reason i shouldn't get the GR2's over the blues? thanx in advance

GR2's and Blues are stock replacements. You might want to go with the AGX's on that drop.

ok i guess popular consensus is that gr2/blues aren't good with sport springs .. my other option would be agx with the race springs i have right now.. which would be a more comfortable ride?

gr2/blues w/ sport springs
-or-
agx w/ race springs

your ride will not be comfortable once you go with race springs.


my advice is to go with Koni Sport (yellow) with race springs. they can handle the drop and spring rate better than the AGX.

with the sport springs, go with AGX.
