I’ve heard some bad things about GR2s but once you get them in could you throw some feedback. I’m in need of a suspension revamp too ---

I got Tokico Illumina’s from Tires23 a few years back. I love them, no complaints at all. Can’t comment on GR2’s though. But that price is a steal if its illumina’s at JRP. ---

I have GR-2 on stock springs and it’s great. Dampening is crisp. With some lowering springs it would be solid. They are nice and stiff. No sloppy feel. Honestly a great buy. I would recommend them. Plus not harsh at ALL on the streets, even in Toronto roads. I’ve been in a car with Tokico blues and lowering springs. Also nice. Pretty harsh on bumps and even some big cracks. But they are very good as track/street shocks. Good for multi-purpose. Id say get the GR-2’s if you are only street driving. Tokico Blue’s if your street/tracking. ---

Rember blues are are more of a stock replacement though. I’d say Illumina’s (adjustable’s) are up there. ---

Tokiko Blues and KYB GR2s are pretty equal. Save a few bucks and get them from Tires23. I have some GR2’s on the way for my maxima as well, I can leave feedback once I have them on the car.
