I had gr2's on my last car with prokit springs and they road sick for over 100k... they were great struts...

as far as other's I don't know tokico USED to be "the" shock to get... now everyone rips on them... I've never had them so I can say one way or the other.... We put some in a friend of a friend's 280z and they were fine... the went in with drop springs too... I didn't think they were shitty at all.

The other thing you can do is get a shock mount riser... they're made by a couple of companies I think... and there is a DIY on h-t... You basically cut off part of the shock mount (the end a strut bar mounts to) and weld in a 2" ring so the shock mounts higher and isn't as compressed.

here's the link to the thread...

it says only for use with their springs though.
