Default Tokico HP or GR-2?

Will the KYB GR-2's work in the rear of a 4-Door 94 accord with Eibach Sportlines? I have a 1.8 Drop on my car and I wanted to get the lower valued shock. What's the difference if any between the two?

neither strut is up for the task of a 1.5+ inch drop espcially the GR-2s since those aren't much better than stock.

I got GR-2's on my accord right now. They are a good upgrade from stock thats about it. I got them with stock springs on them, only because my stock shocks were going bad. If you're going to use them for a drop that big def use the tociko's. If thats your only choices. I had Tociko blues with H&R's with a 1.75 drop a while back and that was pretty comfortable.

then neither shock is suitable for youor desires.
get kyb agx, tokicoo illumina, koni yellow...
the gr-2 is an oem replacement shock, the tokico hp is a mild performance shock, and cant even compare to the 3 shocks i listed above.

Thanks. I wonder why NOPI didn't inform me of this. I need to leave them alone. I have just been waisting money left and right with them and not getting what I want.
