So after looking it up, i'm looking for new shocks for the dropzone springs. Because GR2's are stock replacmennt and the drop is 1.5", they aren't what I want. I don't need the luxury of Koni Yellow's either, I wanted a basic spring like a Tokico blue, etc. Is there no choice between the $200 gr2 and $600 Koni Yellow?

Thanks!

Dr.

I think that there are a couple of companies that make complete coilover packages that include their own shocks (tuned to the respective spring rate). Tein and JIC come to mind. Erm, not that that is much help for you.

I will say that I worked directly with Koni North America on my shocks, and aside from the 2-3 month wait for custom work, the quality is top-notch and the customer service is excellent.

There are other shock manufacturers out there that might fab you up a set (Bilstien, Penske), but the $$ is going to be way north of Konis.

My suggestion would be to go Konis and have the shock body shortened to fit your needs and have the vavling done to fit the spring rate of the springs you'll be using... But that is some change, too.

Nothing I know of fits what you are looking for.
