me they spent 2hrs on it to get it right.

.

300 dollars more and you could have gotten a set of Tein Coilovers....

hey Camrazy..

i toyed with the idea of the tein co since it was a bit more, but
I did not need anything that aggresive and I wanted to keep the
same ride quality.

i just got everything installed i really don't feel a diff. the only thing i see diff. is the drop looks cool!

what's the diff. b-tween oem se struts & the kyb's gr-2 cuz the oem ones are kyb's also are the gr-2 's just better for the lowering springs or what?

i'll post up flix later

the kybs are suppose to be stiffer, and when we compared the two by pushing the rod against the ground, the kybs went down the same rate as the oems but came back up smoother and faster, meaning, they are more responsive when there is more pressure on them.

im wondering if you have the rsb too? cuz I have one.
and maybe the strut mounts do make the difference?

update us with what you think after a few miles of driving and turning.
