Re: the drop (natzimus)
there are no KYB AGX's made for the 6th gen accord. Gr-2's are no better than OEM if you have aftermarket springs. you're looking at Tokico Illuminas or Koni's

Re: the drop (Teh FW CXCbVI)
I have illuminas on my car, dropped 1.8"-1.7" f/r with no problems. You definitely don't want to be dropped 2 inches on stock shocks.
BTW where did you get your teins, there are LOTS of counterfeits going around.

Re: the drop (accordselux)
lol yea there are a lot of fake teins going around on ebay. luckily i didn't purchase any of those. but if you get a 2" drop, i suggest u get bilstein or koni's, but has anyone experience any other shocks for 2" drop. i have the neuspeed race sitting around still deciding what shocks to get.

gr-2's are actully desined to be alot softer then oem, their aim is luxuary, yes they will "work", yes they will <U>hold</U> under heavy driving conditions, but no... they willnot work the way high preformance shocks are suposed to, they dont give you that "feeling" of the road... they have a way of turning a 10k spring rate into stock... worst investment you can make if your gonna drop your car...
