i've got GR2's dropped on sportlines and it rides very nice, my friend has the AGX's and they are alot more harsh but alot tighter, i dont need adjustability so it doesn't matter to me, as long as their not blown

I only ran them on the rear of my Del Sol and they made a huge improvement in car ride and handling. They are about as good as the AGX's, however the AGX's are more for cars that have been excessively lowered. The GR-2's tend to blow out on cars that are really slammed.

They're good stuff. I more prefer the AGX's due to the adjustibility, but if you're not worried about that than youll be happy with them.

I have them on my Integra and the fronts blew after about 6Kmiles

They also give a pretty big rake on my car. My springs are supposed to lower the car 2 inches all around but instead the front is lowered over three inches and the rear is more like 1.5 inches. And the only other DA Integra I know of running GR2s has the same problem.

I can't wait to get rid of these things for some Yellows.
