Has anyone used KYB GR-2 struts on their Alt?

I found these on ebay, looked at a few of the previous buyers and asked them how they felt... one person replied and said that they were a bit stiffer and were great.

I was wondering if anyone here has these? I can't lower my alt if I want to pull my car into my garage (sloped driveway) but I want a stiffer ride for handleing... and thought these might be a good alternative to springs.

I've had KYB-AG2's on my Nissan 200sx... and they were OK... good for guys that go from street to track.... but for everyday driving, they were just OK...

I don't understand your comment about lowering your car and having an inclined driveway... even with the 1.5" in the front (1.4" with the 2.5L A/C) with the Eibachs, you'll still be able to clear a curbed driveway... here in San Diego, Laurel Street is this notrously inclined street leading from the airport, ad I haven't had a problem with it al all after the drop. Also, I've gone up a number of severely inclined driveways, and not once have I scraped... I only started scraping recentl with the Stillen front splitter! But if you have the factory fascia, you'll be fine... if you have the Stillen front fascia or front lip or front splitter... combining that with the drop will cause you to scrape!

you don't uunderstand... my driveway slopes down getting to my garage then slopes back up to get into the garage, making a water drainage "dip"... I have about 1" clearance at the tail pipe if I back in... if I pull in, I have about 1/2" clearance on the front facia... and sometimes I still scrape. Thanks though on the info about the struts.

I'm pretty sure he has a sedan, and if he's scraping in his driveway there is no reason he should drop his car.
