Well then, it's a good thing you asked in the classified section.

classicaddict · 03-20-2008, 12:22 AM

on stock springs they are fine. dont use them with anything but stock suspension.

stephon bess · 03-20-2008, 08:31 PM

well thanks for the info, do the kyb agx perform well?

gr2's are basically stock struts.

agx's are the ****, i have them on two of my b13's.

^I'm getting a set of AGX's for my daily........Have you or know anybody personally that has had experience with the Group Buy Ksports from the old sr20forum?.....I'm debating on rather I should keep them for my project car or not.......

There's a post somewhere on the old forum I think, that accurately documents that the GR2s are indeed a step above OEM.

But I can't for the life of me remember where that was, so maybe I'm making it up.

I have them with a Eibach Pro Kit and its a nice blend of performance. I live in Cleveland and our roads ****ing SUCK! So I didn't want anything too stiff or I'd have to get new fillings in my teeth

bmexicang · 04-03-2008, 07:17 PM

i got the GR-2 Eibach setup and i love it..they are definitely better than stock.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh GR2's on sportlines are likely the WORST suspension setup you could ever have.

unlikely.

llaprad1 · 04-03-2008, 09:41 PM

Yeah, I didn't mean for my comment to go that direction. The GR2s are better than the OEM strut on an OEM spring IIRC.

tonysx · 04-05-2008, 03:17 PM

i had gr-2 and they are no good with lowering springs that have a low drop. now with springs, they're good.

squirlz · 04-05-2008, 03:43 PM

GR-2's are 15% stiffer than stock. Not to be used with lowering springs. AGX's can be used if not going more than 1" or so lower than stock. Read the suspension thread for more info. This has been covered 1.593 million times, try searching.

Speaking from personal experience on stock springs in my NX, they are great!

They are nothing more than a stock strut replacement. No better or worse.

Both of you gentlemen have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, nor do either you have the expertise to properly evaluate any suspension set-up. Your identical suspension set-ups suck sweaty, hairy, funky, donkey balls.

Read and educate yourself, then you will have a basic understanding of our suspensions.

B13, B14, B15 Suspension Information...

I'm not even gonna bother discussing nor debating this with you, until you have both read that entire thread.

You're welcome.

Tony, you must be leaving out words or something with that statement. It does not make any sense whatsoever.

If you were to insert "OEM" in between "with" and "springs" in that second line, then your statement is both correct and makes sense.

You and llprad both believe the GR-2's are slightly better than stock(?). Is there a confirmation source for this information? If so, please clue me in, and I will include it in the Suspension Thread. Thanks.

I agree 100% with everything else you and Classicaddict stated.
