Hi, I have stock suspension (GR2’s in the rear) & OEM in front. Tein S-tech has 1.46" drop in front & 1.22" in the rear. Has any one had S-tech with stock suspension? I read some previous posts & some have said that GR2’s might survive. How good are the chances in blowing the shocks? Any suggestions? Thanks Bill ---

he was running AGX shocks though. I run S-techs on KYB AGX’s. Don’t try and run s-techs on stock shocks, they will be bouncy and eventually the shocks will blow. Check the spring rates they are around 3.8KG/mm. I would not recommend these on stock shocks. You need a little more dampening then what is offered by a stock shock. Andrew.
