omnipower sleeves? the only coil sleeves i'd suggest are the ground controls. if you plan on dumping your car, i dont suggest kyb. if u go past 1.5 inches the warranty is voided. i have the gc/illuminas set up and it's stiff but smooth

LOL. If the omni shocks have problems what makes you think stock or KYB GR2 will hold it.

Weak shocks like those will blow in no time

They might even void the warranty on a 1" drop

Again, the AGX has the same warranty. Spend the extra money on koni yellows.

You car has shocks, and I would koni's over all others if you plan on doing any track events or auto-x, if your just looking for a better street shock, agx's will fit the bill fine.

How much are you lowering it? If it's like 1.5-2.5 inches, you'd be fine with KYB AGX, if you want a little better, get Tokico Illuminas. Unless you really want to go all out and cough up the dough for Koni Yellows. The KYB AGX is cheapest out the 3, it shouldn't give you any problem unless you were really dumped maybe.

GR-2's are basically stock replacements, so there is really no improvement in performance.
