I was going to pick up gc + tokico blues
dude said front spring rate was 250 and rear
was 180. How would this ride with the tokico blues?

like shAt... HP's will blow out in short order. They just cannot handle stiff spring rates or riding low. Should have gone with Illuminas as a minimum for GC's.

What Patrick said, Blues are good for an OEM replacement, but will not do well with a drop.

thanks so much guys. what about koni yellows and eibach pro kits? he told me the shock can adjust the height?

I'm not sure what you mean by the end, but koni yellows + eibach pro kit would work pretty well.

Yes, Koni Sport shocks have 2 height settings for the spring perch on the front shocks (stock or 1" lower), and 3 settings in the rear (stock, 5/8" higher or 5/8" lower). Due to wheel motion ratios, that ends up changing ride height about 1.5" up front and 1" in the rear.

If you use the lower perch settings with aftermarket lowering springs, though, the front end is liable to be damn near on the ground, and the rear not so much. I'm using stock GS-R springs up front and stock ITR springs in the rear on the lower Koni perch setting all around and it sits and rides nice.

Your best bet, though, would be to go with Koni + Koni-specific GC sleeves. Then you have total ride height control.

Are you sure on those spring rates? Do you know the part number on those springs? They sound a little soft for the front.
