lowered by cutting springs or by lowering springs,
just get kyg agx tokico or any aftermarket shocks/struts that's reputable that can handle more than factory springs...

blown shocks probably, unless you cut your springs too much and are riding on bump stops.

get some AGX's or at lease GR2's. That will fix your problem as long as the springs are good.

GR2s suck. I have them on stock springs and they didn't last long. Get KYB AGX or Koni's. Coilovers would be a big step up but they're more expensive. It just depends on what amount of money you have/want to work with.

There are a few links. I purposely linked some with coilover so you could look at some prices. There are many more places which you could buy from. Check out the GB section and the links section of this site. The reviews section has some good stuff too.

gr-2s are stock replacements. nothing special except a cool name

I never said they were anything special. I was commenting that they sucked even with stock springs, which they're supposed to be for. :down:

lowering your car will give you a 'bumpier' ride. period. you change your spring rates

im sorry. i meant that toward the poster that suggested the gr-2s, but quoted you for emphasis.

misinterpretation :bigok:
