Y'all know that GR2's are not meant for lowering and are OEM replacements, right?

KYB specified they only be used as OEM replacements. Using them with any lowering combo voids the warranty and only causes problems for those who ends up with such a setup. If you've only rode on blown struts then you won't notice the horrible ride as much but if you ride in anything with a proper setup, it'll feel like night and day.

Weasel is only trying to stop some n00b from ending up with a mistake.

Last time I checked (which was awhile ago) all struts weren't TECHNICALLY meant for lowering springs ... So what difference would it really make if it says KYB or anything else Now I could be wrong and they may have all changed by now, but at one point I was lookin through Koni warranties awhile ago (like at least a year or more) and stated that after a certain inch the warranty was void, which that inch was pretty much anything under the goldline drop ... lol Someone correct me if I'm wrong with proof.

To me, it doesn't have anything to do with warranty. The ride DOES NOT deteriorate on Koni struts like it does on OEM replacements. Thats why you don't lower on KYB GR2's. Who gives a crap about the warranty, the proof is in the pudding.

A few years ago when I decided to switch to coilovers I called Koni and they said no problem at all with Ground Control coilovers. Or sportline springs. The guy did mention that Intrax and Goldline springs are crap, I am not sure why though.

I was lookin at the warranty side Jimmy incase I blew one within a week lol Thought it comical that it mentioned that in the 'warranty' statement on most thats all.

Yeah, struts are all the same. The people spending $100 a piece on struts must be stupid when they could use $20 Monroe's just as effectively.....

What does the number of cylinders have to do with the safety of an ill-handling vehicle? I look forward to this reply!-

Were you to take a ride in a car such as Kevin's, Jimmy's, or mine, you'd be absolutely blown away by how much better it is, and realize how bad yours is. People don't really notice when their suspension goes away because it's gradual. It's only after dampener replacement that the light really goes on inside their heads, and they wonder how the hell they drove on such crap for so long.

Im not denying that my car with Koni's drives amazingly. I just put these up for sale for anyone that wants them. The struts arent blown and it gives a nice drop, so why not?

No hatred. Just pointing out what they're meant for. If someone's got a stock suspension and their car is getting bouncy, these would be great for them. They're just no good for lowering springs, which have a higher spring rate and will chew through these just like they do with stock dampers.

If you use then for what they're made for, they're quite good.
