the gr2 s are about 15% stiffer than stock..so unless the spring rate is the same or a little less..expect them to last for about 15k or less

will they last 50k miles you think? my stock shocks rode smooth for about 6 months. now it's bouncy. for 50-60 a piece, are they worth it?

well I've had GR2's for hmm approx 60k miles and they are finally reaching there end..I can tell by the way my car handles.. they do not dampen well.. I run GC street kit on it so the spring rate is not to high.. and yet the shocks still have trouble controlling them at times.. and my car is only 1.5 drop all around.. they did well for me and saw many miles in the 3yrs I've had them but I'm stepping up to a full coilover system next week.. good luck
