where is the cheapest place i can get KYB GR-2 struts for the 1 GS3 from? all i have seen is ebay. and i dont really know any good shock/strut website.

oh and i read that if you lower the car more the 1.5 inchs then you void the life time warranty on the KYB struts...and i plan on getting DF210s...which is almost a 2 inch drop...anyone have the KYBs fail or start leaking with more than a 1.5inch drop???

Just food for thought. I have tein coilovers and I am going to raise my car back up. If I had springs, I would not be able to do that and also would not be able to adjust the stiffness. I was leaning towards the tanabe's before I got coilovers as I was coming from Eibach springs. The thing is you will need to replace your stock shocks after a few years since they were not made for such an aggressive drop. With coilovers, they are designed to hold all height adjustments.
