Look what I found lol....

So this past weekend I was taking the struts and springs out of my parts car in preparation to winterize (unlower) my protege. When low and behold the rear struts of the parts car turned out to be KYB-GR2's! someone put these on the car then abandoned it lol.

only the rear two? good find.

[Gro Harlem]

fyi GR2's are OEM replacements, if you lower your car, they will last just as shortly as a stock replacement strut like a gabriel, monroe etc.

[pigeon]

they feel stiffer than my oem ones tho

[95ProLeila]

they are stiffer, but by less than 20% (exact number escapes me). they are technically an OEM upgrade, so if its not lowered a huge amount then you can usually get away with using them, might need to cut the bump stops though.

meh, they're going on the car for the winter... i have my "Lifetime guarenteed forever monroe crappy tire" struts that are on with my lowering springs. Crappy tire is great... whenever i had my car into them for an allighnment they told me that "the suspension is saging noticably all 4 corners" i just kind of looked at them and shook my head... lol
