I didn't see any difference between them and Tok HP's except for a couple bucks.

I've got them on my hatch. I honestly don't like them that much. I've got a set of GC coil over's and the suspension bottoms out faily often. I'm gonna stay with the GC's and prolly get something adjustable.

BTW, my car is lowered alot, if you keep the heigh only like an inch from stock, I'm sure they'll ride okay.

Overall, I say you should save up and buy something adjustable. I regret cutting corners everyday on my car. Ride is very important IMO. If your car rides like ***, you won't enjoy driving your car near as much.

I have them and they handle good, ride rough. I have about 2 fingers between my tires and fenders and it bottoms out a lot, but it doesn't bother me much, but yeah, they ride rough.

I guess they'll go good with some Pro Kits or something with less than a 2" drop.

bump

I'm looking at these and am wondering what you guys think of them. They'd be paired with H&R sports. I think the drop is 1.8"

R O U G H ride.... though I do have a few miles on mine. The ride improved some, but not enough, when I put Nuespeed Sport springs with them. I'm getting Koni's next.

I have them on my car. They ride fine for me. I can't even remember the last time I bottomed them out.

the gr2's are valved for an almost stock setup, so if you lower it very little they will work well, im dropped 2.6" with tokicos on the front and gr2s on the back and i wish i bought tokicos all around.

I was thinking of getting them as well, I only want to lower mine probably 1.5-1.75 in. so I take it that would be acceptable?

Well yea I got them. They were quite cheap, did the job fairly well. I wouldnt advice any heavy duty drops but I'm sure around 1-1.5 would hold up fine. They arent meant to be a performance shock, they're meant to be an OEM replacement. So if your on a budget and your stock shocks are blown get the gr2s !
