I'd say tokicos if you can find them cheaper. Looked on www.thepartsbin.com and the tokicos are $270, not sure if they're in stock though.

if ur gonna drop 400$ for blues, + $ for an alignment, might as well buy coilovers for $800 or so. and sell your springs for some cash back.. i think theres a set of megan coilovers for sale on here for 500ish.. iirc..


but i voted for gr2's cuz im cheap...

From what I have gathered, Tokico's can take a drop better than GR2's and are slightly better.
