its normal for KYB's to bounce alot with GC's

its not normal for a car to bounce tho...

you need aftermarket struts that are valved to handle lowering suspension

KYB AGX
Koni Yellow
Tokico Ilumina

Travs

KYB GR2's are not for lowered cars. If the suspension is new, give it a few weeks. Otherwise time for some KYB AGX, Koni Yellow, Tokico Ilumina shocks.

On my car i have skunk2 coil-overs fitted with KYB Agx 4-ways and my car rides like a dream. rides unbelievably smooth on setting 1 and still rides nice but tight on setting 3.

AGXs- a must!

I got GR-2's and my car is lowered somewhere between 1.5-2" with some no name springs, and all I can say is that it's the stiffest ride I have ever had compared to every other car I've ever been in.

I have GR2s with Neuspeed Sports and my ride is just fine. Its definitely not bouncy. The ride is stiff but not rock hard or anything.
