H&R Sports settled way too low, so Im rubbing and eating up the tires again the wheels wells everywhere so I've decided to light.

But, are GR-2 a decent shock to put with the H&R OE Sport Springs. The setup will be one inch higher than what I have now which won't be too bad, but I wanted to get opinion about those shocks becuase I don't have the money to spend for the adjustable on this set budget.

and you can get em for like 200 shipped which is cheaper than going to advance and buying OE replacements

Been reading that people with this setup bounce all over the place in their cars. Bah, Tokico maybe?

EDIT: Seems like adjustables is the only way to go? I must have blown shocks becuas one guy has the same drop I currently have and he bottoms out alot with the tires hitting the wheelwells. Same problem I have.

Then what would you recommend for a drop, hopefully not just adjustable.

yeah, I used GR2s on my daily driver with some TEIN STech springs and they only rub when I put some tires with large sidewalls on.
