Default Which Shock???

OK, He is the deal my friend just gave me and set of H&R racing springs. I currently have a set of Tanade GF210 wih the stock "blown" shocks. I DO NOT have alot of money so what SHOCKS should I go with?

Will Tokico HP or KYB GR2 hold a 2.5 inch drop?

Remember I have a VERY small badget!!!

Thank You for your replies

Well, it depends a lot on where you live, and how bad the roads are. I had GR2's on maxspeed coilover, which have quite high spring rates and the car was lowered about 2.25"....No problems. I also had the Tokicos on goldline springs (very nice) at a 2" drop and they were very nice, but with a lighter spring. If theyre both the same drop for your car, Id use the springs that have the softer rates. Either way, the GR2 isnt a bad shock, but its lifespan will be shortened.

Haven't heard many good things about the gr2s with more than a 2-2.5" drops
