Your take on Gr-2's - Honda Prelude Forum

Cisco93lude · 02-14-2007, 07:59 AM

I have them installed on the front of my car along with eibach sportline springs. Has anyone else had negative experience with them?? I find mine bottoms out a little too much. also is there any other bushings or anything i should be looking for damage?? I had to replace the sway-bar end link bushings because they were blown to pieces.

I just put a set of GR2's on with stock springs . . . MUCH better than my stock setup that was pushing 140k miles, but I guess pretty much anything would have been.

The Sportlines are a little aggressive of a lowering spring to be using with GR-2's honestly, that's why you may experience some bottoming out. If you're going to use GR-2's use spring that are at most 1.5" lowering....preferrably higher and closer to stock than that for the best ride quality.

You think so?? I just dont feel like spending 250$ on front struts. Anyone know of a cheaper set that would go well??

i just bought a brand new set, waiting for my H&R to come in, i would think they'll be good for the money, i paid $154 shipped for a brand new set, can't complain

Cisco93lude · 02-14-2007, 02:07 PM

are bump stops that important. My stock ones were wrecked and i wanted to get them on quick so I didnt use them.

jsmooney · 02-14-2007, 04:18 PM

i didnt use them either and i have bottomed out several times

I really wouldn't use those gr-2's on anything other than around stock ride height. From talking to friends and co-workers, they're just a step above stock & not what they expected.

I bottomed out more than expected with these shocks and I was lowered about 2". Like most ppl above, I wouldn't recommend them for lowered vehicles, but more of a stock replacement

damn is there any cheaper struts that are better then the gr-2's and if so wheres the cheapest place to buy them

You could check out the Tokico HP Blue shocks. They are supposedly more performance oriented than the GR-2's and cost just a little bit more. We have pretty low prices on Tokico as well. Check out: www.importrp.com and contact me if you wanna see a total package price I could give you shipped.

i had them on a cutlass one time. thought they were pretty lame.

jsmooney · 02-16-2007, 03:27 PM

they are a little tighter than stock, but they werent worth the money IMO if you are looking for a big improvement
