I am still on stock struts 140,000,I know shame on me. I like the GR2 and want to lower a bit I was just worried about my new stock size tires as already mentioned. I sure do like the way they ride(triple treads)compared to my old Wal Mart rubbers.

you'll b fine using stock tires and lowering. Lots of ppl and myself included go back to stock size tire in the winter without putting the stck springs back in.

I have a 3.4 currently.

you're looking at page 2. those are mods to come and provided I don't run into any big snags I should have it done around christmas time.

I have a ported s/c, SBC cam and pacesetters in my basement. I've gotta finish my intercooler setup and fuel rails/injectors before I can put it all in.

I might run a 3.0 and up the timing instead of a 2.8, we'll see. Then it's up to Will for a tune.

4KYB GR2 struts from my local auto Zone $313.30.
ZZP has them for $239.99
Eibach springs at A/Z $270.88 for the set.

I did not ask A/Z about the new top plates or the pogo washers.

Aren't KYB AGX's better than GR-2's for lowered cars or was I dreaming that I read that?

AGX's are better for lowered cars. GR2's are not as good

meh, stock struts here!

i'll get some gr-2's when my stockers go.

AGX's are expensive because they are adjustable.
