Suspension: i have H&Rs with stock struts but i want to go lower
right now i have H&R springs with stock struts but i want the car to be lower. my plan is to get Eibach springs but i just want some input from you all on some things:
1) i have stock struts...if i were to keep the H&Rs and got a sportier aftermarket set could that effect my ride height a bit?
2) H&Rs are rated to give a lower drop than Eibachs but in reality i dont think that is true. Eibachs lower the car a bit more than H&Rs dont they? (newbie question, i know)
3) for struts i was planning on Tokico Blues but i can get major discounts through Tirerack.com and they only struts they have are KYB GR-2s. i havent heard anything about the GR-2s. can anyone tell me anything about them? good? bad? should i just get the Tokicos?
thanks for the help.

Ques. 2 I heard the same thing, look at my homepage and see the Eibach drop. I also ran a 245/40-18 tire size which gave me less of a wheel gap, as well as being more aggresive.
Ques. 3 Maybe you can hook me up... I need some also hehehe

Progress has the cleanest, most even drop that I have seen. The ride is tight and I love them. Eibachs wold have been my 2nd choice, and yes, they seem to drop more than their rating. I think they actually drop a little more than Maxspeeds.

hey, how's the ride quality with your setup, newman.....is it still floaty like the rest of the stock 2k2's? or is it better with the H&R's?

I love your look Andy, I would do it, but I don't want the rough ride, just the fly looks. Can't have em both I guess.

I have the KYB GR2 and Eibach setup on a 1st gen Altima. The Tokicos were not available at the time that I changed springs and struts.
The KYB GR2 are a good strut for the $$$. The altima rides much more like a sports sedan, i.e firmer and stiffer. Since its a 5 speed, I drive more aggressively than I do the Maxima.
Since I have a GLE, I will probaly go the H&R, Tokico Blues route to be closer to stock.
