Actually got it off a guy on here if I'm not mistaken. It's the ingen CAI that I rattle canned black and stuck a vibrant performance filter. I want an exhaust bad, the circuit sports cat-back looks like what I would be in to for the street.

Kool man thanks, we have a little car meet thing every tuesday night over here at Advanced Auto Parts on 301. I know a guy over here that has an SR20DET red pignose and there are a couple over 240s roaming around. Good to hear from some other 240's in this region.

I ride on Gr-2's with tein's and I like the ride. Some of my passangers say its a little on the rough side but I like it. I've driven my buddies 240 with coils and as a daily driver in michigan I think it would be just a little too rough.

I have Eibachs on GR2s, they suck. I wouldn't recommend any spring other than stock on GR2s. Unless of course you don't mind some bounce with your drop

To the OP, the GR2s are better than blown stock, but that's it. Like mentioned, there is always a next time...

I ride on GR2's w/ ksport springs and its not bouncy at all. I've rode in cars w/ coils also and the ride of my spring/strut combo rides better than the coils IMO, though only just for a DD.

I was going for a decent ride so I opted for the gr2's. I like the ride and it is definitely not as harsh as the AGX's. The AGX's were out of my price range at the moment and I needed something to replace my OEM . My friend rides AGx's in his impreza and he really doesn't like them for the street. As for the car meets, I know a couple of guys over here that have some decent cars+driving capabilities. Ofcourse with every scene you will have you douches and ricers.. I just ignore them and talk to the ppl that think of the scene like I do.

that is some awsome input that i've been looking for on the gr2s. i think i will go with my gut instinct and purchase them. thanks you

now how do the ksports compare to the eibach pro kit? its not a brand i've seen floating around when it comes to springs, then again i've only been looking for about a month or so.
