eh, they're ok. they dropped my car lower in the front than in the back which is kind of wierd. they're pretty stiff, most people wouldn't like the ride quality, but I don't really mind, I realize you need to give up ride quality for handling ability... it being lower in the front probably hurts this too because I think it probably tends to dive into pot holes instead of trying to skip over them.

I'm not sure what the actual drop was, my old dampers were amazingly shot, so you would probably get a different drop anyway. when I took my old dampers off I could just push down the piston and it wouldn't come back up... the front drop is pretty decent though, and the back isn't too bad, but it wouldn't hurt to lose another half an inch.

all and all, I would probably go with something else, like eibach or APEX, but if you want a bigger drop than eibach, and can't find APEXs then they're not bad.

I'll take some pictures when I get my exhaust and you can see how they look.

EDIT: also, stiffer dampers would probably work well with them, I can tell that they are just way underdampened with the GR-2s, but I'm not sure what other options you would have. I'm not a big fan of mixing and matching front and rear dampers (mr2 AGX fronts)
