Well finaly picking up some after market components for my car, cheap ebay intake and then Eibach Prokit Springs and KYB GR-2 Struts waiting on pictures from the seller to see the condition but he said they had roughly 12,000 miles on them. He said slight rust but I was just wondering about how much wear I can expect on them after 12k?

kyb gr-2’s arent good for an aggressive drop, just an inch or so. Just keep that in mind

I’m not sure if they were driven hard, just driven for a year.

There just a 1" - 1.5" drop, nothing aggressive, I’m not sure of the spring rate though I can’t find it anywhere and the guy doesn’t know.
