I'm on a tight budget and don't need anything adjustible.
I don't autocross or anything like that, just daily driving in the city/highway

I've narrowed down to getting KYB GR2 non-adjustible shocks and going to combine them with my OEM ITR springs (which the springs will lower approx. .75-.95") for my EK civic.

Will this set-up work fine for me (ITR springs are 247Front/197-247Rear)?
Are the shocks slightly stiffer than OEM stock civic shocks?
Will the KYB GR2 shocks be better and more comfortable than using ITR spring/stock civic shock set-up?
Will the KYB GR2 last long, since my EK will not be lowered more than an inch.

I talked to, to some guy in the EF forum about this.. He has had GR2's and a eibach prokit for i think a year or 2 with no problems! Hope this helps

 

thanks!
but does anybody who has these shocks or if you are a suspension kind of guy, could you please take your time and look at my questions?

 

I'm your man my friend...

I have KYB GR2s with h&r springs on my ek civic...

They are stiffer then stock.

 

I've had GR2s for approx 3 yrs now..and well finally they are showing there age.. but I've driven approx 70kmiles on them with GC coilovers.. never once had a problem..I'll be upgraden to AGX's since I have to sit here and wait for my damn promotion..I wanted to go full coilover but can't get the cash soon enough

 

how are they showing wear?
what are they doing?

 

Just wonderin, have checked Koin Reds?

 

hmm I'm still wondering if I should get these.
Would the KYB GR2 we a good fit for itr springs which will lower .5-.75" ?

what kind of h&r springs are you using the sport or race ones. Also have you had any problems? How much is your car lowered can i see i picture if you have one? Sorry about all the questions i just wanna be sure of what i buy i dont wanna waste my money, cause i dont have a lot of it.
