Read that yet?

I think Tokico Blues are good as well as KYB AGX and Koni Sport.

The Gr2's are basically stock spec and will blow out prematurely (lol)

koni yellows are inserts for your oem's

sportlines are a tough call because theyre so soft but they still drop enough to need something fairly stiff, i guess id stick with AGX, but you really need coilovers to drop that much properly

I've got the sportlines and tokico blues on my s14. As nismofly said "they're so soft", and I could not agree more. Going to up-grade this spring to coilovers.Would not recommend the tokico blues from my experience. Would recommend getting dampening adjustability to remedy that potential problem.
