i have a kyb gr2 crx suspension in the front and back of my car when i bougth the car the guy had those on it to begin with and it is real low to the ground and it is such a bumpy ride its because of the shocks or springs but on the highway its so bumpy could be be because the springs are worn on it? i dont know much about suspesion except my car rides extremely rough

 

Could be your shocks are blown.

HUH?!?!

 

what springs? gr2s cant handle more than 1.5-2 in drop at most. punctuation helps too.

 

well isnt that interesting, my ride was dropped at least 2-3 inches and im on kyb's, but ride is also bumpy but the roads around my area suck, and its also a 15 year old car, so the frame and such probly isnt gonna be in the greatest shape in the world, if that has anything to do with it all lol but ya, my ride is fine, but my tires also suck *****

 

i got kyb's on my 88hf with tein springs car rides great. a little bouncy on some roads but highway is smooth.

 

I bought gr2's for my crx, lowered about 3".....they only lasted a couple months before 3 out of 4 of them were totally blown.

I wouldn't recommend them if you're lowered much at all.

dont you think the two are directly related?

why dont you ppl raise your car if you are complaining about the ride.

you lower your car excessively, you dont get a good ride. simple. quit bitching and expecting anything more if you plan on dumping your car and act suprised or disappointed when your shocks are blown.

you mean having my car scraping on the ground when i am going straight isnt a good thing? but i thought it made me turn faster because if the lower center of gravity


anywho, it could be a multitude of things, perhaps the guy didnt cut the bump stops, perhaps the springs are worn, perhaps the dampers are blown, YOU PROBABLY NEED NEW BUSHINGS. etc

 

I have own both, KYB GR2 and KYB AGX shocks. I had the GR-2 on my LS crx with dropzone coilovers and it actually road really good I was happy. I am running AGX's on my h22 crx now on skunk2 coils and am happy also. GR-2's are good supposively to a certain point and the AGX for more extreme. AGX's are 4 way adjustable and the GR-2's arent.

Most likely your shocks may be blown, Springs usely keep there spring good.

the whole first paragrah of your post has nothing to do with anything, not only that but we dont know if they are blown or not

 

you guys are probably going to call me dumb etc. and rightfully so, but anyways. im pretty sure my passanger side rear strut is completely blown, and the drives side is about to be. i lowered my car 2-3 inches (by heating the springs..my bad) and i can not have passangers in my car at all w/o it rubbing, unless they weigh less than 150. i was looking to buy lowering springs and struts (for now, coilovers later) and i was just wanting to know what kind to get to still be able to ride 2-3 inches lower than stock. i dont care too much about ride quality (for as cheap as possible...like $250), just dont want a 1 seater. my brother has had lowered trucks since i can remember so i got used to bouncing all over the place with every little bump. lowered trucks ride a lot shittier than lowered cars.

yeah you are an idiot!

 

i couldnt wait any longer, im satisfied with it...over stock height at least. for some reason everyone thinks i have coilovers...i dont know why..anyways, any suggestions for a spring/strut combo (i was gonna go qith skunk2 springs for $100....and...w/e kind of struts that would hold up for $150 on the rear...know of any?)

 

1) gr2's are inexpensive and you get what you pay for. they are basically aftermarket stock replacements.
2) what everyone else said

 

well isnt that interesting, cuz now ever since it started getting cold, i can hear this bumping noise coming from underneath my car (guessing suspension) and my steering wheel also moves like an inch back and forth on its own, a friend from class sais try balancing the tires and adjust the steering colomn. but i think im going to take it into autos class and look at it... but if the shocks are blown, how do ya tell by looking at them? and what the hell shocks would ya recommend for a 4 inch drop that doesnt cost $1,000

i recommend not dropping it 4 inches as it isnt doing DICK for performance

 

well isnt the entire point of lowering a fwd car to make it have less wheel hop, so u can go somewhere off the line if ya got traction, or am i just a dumbfuck and dont know wtf im talking about

thats part of the purpose for dropping the car, however dropping the car 4 ******* inches acutally reduces the performance of your car

 

I've been rockin' the Kyb Gr2s on sprint extreme springs (3.25" drop front, 3" drop rear) for about 3 months now. No problems yet.

 

I have GR2's with Eibach Pro kit 1.5" drop and the handling is great (firm, precise)although I replaced all of the bushings with the es kit as well. With a modest drop (1-2") GR2's are fine, if you go lower than that inverst in an adjustable dampner such as KYB AGX.
