I am new to the 240 community, seems like most people prefer Tein S + AGX (value for $ probably)....how about Tokico Blue +GF210? I've also read soemthing about GR-2 won't last too long with lowering springs, anybody knows how long GR-2 will last with Tein-S?

Went over some speed bump too quick by accident , now I keep hearing these squeeking/knocking noise even going thru the smallest bump....bad thing is I got a set of 17' 350z rims in my living room, so i need some good suspensions combo

O for normal driving only, so no D2 or KTS or Apexi....coilovers , too expensive (maybe the low end basic coilovers )

Blues are designed to work with stock [or at most an extra 20%] spring stiffness with the normal +- 3.0" stroke. When you lower the shock only has a 2.25" stroke so they fail faster.

Shocks must be designed to match springs and body wheel tire weight/rate.

Blues are just aftermarket low cost replacements usually 15% stiffer than oem.Adjustables at least allow you to compensate for the more rapid wear.

I got the GF210 in the end and have had them for several months now and love them. Nice drop and excellent ride, I even have them on stock shocks.
