I have them on my Mark VII, they work pretty good but aren't as stiff as the gas-a-just.

Hard as a rock with B springs, even hard on a friend's V8 swapped turbocoupe with stock springs. Not impressed. Liked the Monroe's sense a tracks I had before better. No difference in handling except rougher.

I debated on getting the GR-2's but i opted for the better AGX's. Drove my buddy's Turbo MR2 with them and felt nice, plus fully adjustable so you can set them how you want them. I'd say save your money and get the better ones.

i've got the gr-2s with the eibach pro-kit.it has a firm ride the way i like it.tire size plays a big difference in ride quality also.my car rode better when i had 245/45/17 all the aound compared to my current setup of 255/40 and 275/40 combo.the shocks are good buy for the money but there are better ones,it just depends on what you want from your ride.
