I feel the KYB's are the way to go if price is an issue.

Pedders and Koni= expensive

that's what i'm thinking! i just want to know if anyone has had problems with their kybs w/lowering springs!

Skierd has KYB's an a 2" drop, he said hes had no problems . Got roughly 15K miles on them so far I believe.

Im going with the same set up, KYBs, BG springs, whiteline sway bars, HDK strut bar.

An the semi metalic pads HP.com shop sells.

are you looking at the kvr pads? that is what i'm thinking of using, perferably with a set of kvr x-driller rotors!8D

if you use them, let me know how they work out for you!

thx

i have kyb gr2 w ith apex lowering springs total performance over stock (thats all i have to go on) i also got kvr carbon fibre brake pads and cross drilled rotors they stop on a dime and give you nine cents change also got new drums and pads on the rear (just stock)

Actually they have closer to 25000 miles on them now, and are starting to feel a little warn and underdamped. Remember that I did most of this driving in 2 of the WORST states for roads (Mi and Pa) and that I drive my car extremely hard.

I'm thinking about getting Koni Yellow inserts next...

Josh, I have GR2s on my ride, and I think they're great. I have a mild drop... only 1.4 inches with the H&R springs, but I've only put a couple thousand kilometres on them... maybe 2000-2500 so far.
I'd recommend them to anyone on a budget. Konis are better overall, but are also WAY more expensive, and maybe not worth it unless you autox a like like dave/skierd.

excellent, thx everyone!! i think i'll go with the kybs and maybe i'll be able to do a full kvr break setup too!!
