That was a great read. Pretty accurate IMO; I like their magazine selections!

I owe it to Nathan, I probably wouldn't have run as well if we weren't talking smack the whole time

Unrelated somewhat but I have used the GR2's and was not very impressed with them....found them really no better than a good Monroe shock/strut. Now I have KYB's(Gas Adjust) on the old Fords and like them a lot but I was just not impressed with the GR2's...

So, in all reality, that pyramid is one of the most useless peice of information ever posted on a forum... period.

I assumed that and like the famous Colin Powell pick...."I aint readin all that...." I just browsed it over to get the jist but didn't read everything

Yeah, I only browsed it too (wasn't going to waste my time on that nonsense). However, I just happened to read the very last part of the page which contained the Editor's note.

Only reason I bought these was that I was undecided on what to about my suspension, but I couldn't stand driving around on blown shocks any longer. I got a set of 4 for about 140$. When I pulled the original shocks out, they had NO rebound. It was easy to compress, and they wouldn't rebound back up.

The AGX's don't work well on dsms. The vast majority of people who use them, they either blow out once you start driving hard, or quickly let go once used with any spring that drops the car. On top of the fact that they're too harsh. The one talon I drove with AGX felt awful, way too harsh for the street. The GR2s are okay for the meantime. I can have fun with my car now while saving up for something better. Anytime I tried launching, the rear squatted way too much to be safe. Anytime I went into a corner, the car would just roll like crazy and bottom out very easily.

Konis work great. The rears can't be adjusted unless you take them out, which kinda defeats the point of having adjustables.

I'd get konis, but I"m probably going to save my cash for either a set of TEIN coilover or JICs.

So instead, you opted for the "air shock" look.

Hey I still have muddin' needs I need to fulfill

I was going for the broke poor white ricer lowered look, just wait long enough and you're shocks will blow out, giving you that lowered look.
