Retarded Suspension Q
okay, so the GSLSE just got its new to me wheels. set of datsun 280zx wheels that look good on the car, nice 1/2inch sticking out of the fender wheels. looks good. anyway, the ride height of the car looks retarded now because of the dished style the wheels have.
i was looking at the ST spring set in the catalog formally known as victoria british, considering they arent a finacial burden (other FB taking up money) and they arent a huge increase in spring rate as the car is street driven daily. but that isnt the problem. the choice for replacement strut is. i dont want to spend alot of money on high prefromance ones. but i figured that stock replacements wont. last.
Can the GR2s handle the extra 10% spring rate and reduce ride height? or what is the smarter option given that i dont want to spend alot on high end options. reiterated, i dont want my new struts dying after a month.

the gr2s cant handle the stock springs, you're better off with 25 year old stock shocks than those things.
