Default Skunk2 Coilovers + KYB GR2's

What do you guys think of this set up for my 94 ex coup? Will the Gr2's be sufficient or do I have to get a high grade of shocks.........Ive heard the GR2's are an oem replacement....
A friend suggest putting GR2's from an integra onto my civic. Im on a budget so the gr2's so look nice. price wise
thx

skunk2 coilovers tend to have a pretty high spring rate and you will most likely drop the car around 2". I'd say get at least the AGX KYB. The GR2 is good as a replacement for stock shocks, and that's as good as they get.

if you are going to lower the car more than like 1 inch, i'd defintely get the AGX's, or Koni yellows......

and yeah, get ready for a bumpy ride. those springs kick *** on a race track, but suck for the street...

if you're on a tight budget---then the GR2's arent a bad choice. you wont get the adjustability of the AGX's, obviously, but it is WAY better than riding on stock shocks.

a friend of mine has GR2's on his mkIII golf paired with H&R Sport springs, and the ride quality is still pretty good, and it stiffened it up quite a bit...

get the gr2's...IMO

I have GR2's on my 91 Si w/ Neuspeed race springs, and the ride is good. It's not bouncy really, my only complaint is that they are not adjustable. I have had these installed w/ teh springs for 6-8 months & the drop is 2.25" f & 2.00" r.
