the kyb gr-2s are only suppose to be used up to a 1.5" drop. you might run the chance of blowing them out since its that much more compressed?

but thats my 2cents

its up to you really, but thats what kyb recommends.

I have my set of se sport springs if you are considering just a slight
oem upgrade? I believe I have the shocks too if you are interested.
just pm me.
