gr-2s are basically stock. If you plan on lowering your car at all I would deffinately go for the agx. AGX are adjustable so you can make it "smother" if you want(still stiffer than stock).

I have gr2s on our corolla and to tell you the truth, they aren't stiff enough for me. Maybe they are conservatively valved for people that only want a 'spirited ride' :rolleyes:
Hopefully someone has some answers for me! I think you answered your own question.
Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!

GR-2's are 15% firmer than stock
AGX's range from 95% up to 123% firmer than stock

I think you answered your own question. The problem with that approach is that corollas and talons are totally different cars. Some shock manufacturers valve them differently depending on the demographic that they are shooting for. I just wanted to know if gr2s were similar between applications. :rolleyes:

True enough.
I would ASSume though, that the shock manufacturers would go after a demographic with a "level" of shock though (ie: GR2,AGX, etc..) and probably not vary them much from vehicle to vehicle.
Now, I'll have all kinds of time to talk about DSMs, because I won't be busy fixing mine!
