Ha. My car N/A right now is loud as a dragon and embarrassing to take out so to have my car bounce down the road would top it for me. It'll quite down with the turbo on within a month, but a bouncy ride I couldn't handle. Car is a buzz box. I think the GR2s have a lifetime warranty too. So the ride is notably different from stock?

My 90 crx is a piece of bouncing ----... The roads around my area are so ------- shitty I cuss the whole way home, no joke. I don't know if it's just blown shocks or shitty shocks or what, I've never touched suspension, but it's hell. I'm afraid to hit bumps at high speeds because the wheels will bounce and lose traction.

Anyway, I was thinking of posting a similar thread. I want to lower my car 1.5-2.5". I'm guessing I'll go for the gr2s unless someone posts something negative. How far can I reliably drop the car and at what height would camber kits be needed? What should I use for springs? Thanks

I used skunk2 drag springs and a set of the ebay dropzone shocks and it rode sweet. I only had them on for a few months before I sold my car, but it was pretty low with those springs and the shocks took a lot of abuse. It was a nice firm ride for corners and launching but it wasn't too harsh for driving on the streets, and I'm out in the boonies so I drive on some fucked up roads. The dropzones are pretty damn cheap and supposedly have a lifetime warranty. just my experience though. I'm gonna go with the same setup again on the car I have now

I talk to the people from shox.com. They said to go with the Tokico blues, since they warrent them from blowing for up to a 2" drop (I guess. Thought that was a bit much, but they said just to call them up if they blow). 220 to my door for all four.

Ah, that's a good price. I think I'll do the same. Are those better performing than stock or just a stock replacement? What springs are you going to use?

They're still stock replacments.. but I'm sure they're better than OEM somewhat.

I have skunk2 coilovers I got for mad cheap. I figure if I don't dump the car I won't have to worry. Plus, I can't fit 23" slicks on a slammed car :P
