    Curious if GR2's would be sufficient for SLP springs, as they are reputed to not drop the car too much. I ran across a set of SLP's that were purchased new and never installed, and for $100 shipped, I'm inclined to get them. I know AGX's are adjustable, better, etc, but I want to know if the SLPs will blow out GR2's in short order like some of the lower springs will. Also, not overly interested in coilovers, as I would likely never use the adjust-ability of them, and have heard mixed reviews of BC's on other vehicles. Thanks to anyone with input!

    I ran the KYB struts on SSC lowering springs with no problems at all.

    Those springs won't do any worse.

    I'm not sure.

    The SSC springs are the same ones bought through Canuck Motorsports but I'm not sure they still sell them.

    I bought a new set of SSCs a year ago.
    My old set were a little bit too rusty.

    If you use SSC, buy some sized vinyl tubing to cut and wrap around the high and low areas.
    The compression of car weight will have the coils touch and bind after awhile.
    Mine popped pretty good until I did this on the first set. A real ***** when on car.

    Much easier to do when new.
