I just wanted to let everyone know that I just got done installing four new KYB GR-2 struts with the new springs and it rides awesome. I will get some pics of the ride hieght and whatnot here ASAP

cool man! how low is it? and how is the ride stiffness? i'm thinkin bout getting some GC's, but if the ST springs handle really good, i might try those.

I haven't drove really hard on them yet cause I haven't gotten it aligned. And i think something else is wrong too. Everytime a turn hard left i get a knocking, its like when you have a bad CV axle but there is no noise just the vibrations. The axle is brand new. So i'm kinda lost as to what this may be.

But from what I have read about your interests Sam, and from the driving i've done on them. They aren't super stiff, and i've came to the conclusion that is what you are going for. So the ST prolly aren't for you. But they are a progressive spring and they ride great!

And to the ride hieght, I have 15" rims with 195 60 15 tires. I can get one finger in the fender gap in front, and two in back. It will be perfect for me 17"s! Makes for an agressive stance too!
