The KYB GR2 are only good for a 1.8" drop or less. Any less than yjay will blow within a few months. Would recommend Tokico or Koni's.

hmm many people recommended the tein stech/kyb gr2 combo even though the springs lower 2.1 front/1.7 in the back. Tein said so themselves that the gr2 would work good with teh springs... I guess it's due to the softer spring rate of the springs.
