My friend has these shocks on this 97 Honda Prelude SH. They are much stiffer than stock and retain a great ride too. The handling has improved dramaticly.

thanks you guys for the replies. I think Im just gonna get these shocks instead of the AGX, I really dont need the adjustability so I dont see paying 50 bucks more for something im not even gonna use. Besides, the red color of the AGX would clash with my deeper red Accord, I like the look of the GR-2 and hope they work out for me. I'll let you guys know what I think of them when I finally get them, probably not for a while with the way my $ situation is right now. Thanks again.

Well, at www.coximports.com, the AGX are 340 shipped, the GR-2 are 290 and some change shipped, you do the math:fawk:
I did just find the GR-2's at www.tirerack.com for $49 each front, and $29 each rear, just shy of 160 bucks, that's what im talking about

Like I said before, I don't need the adjustability, I just need a shock that is built to perform on lowered vehicles. It is my opinion that there isn't a shock out there that will give you a better ride than stock. I really don't care too much about brand names and cute features, I just want a shock that will perfom adequately once I lower my car.
