QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Mar 28, 2010 - 1:15 AM)  Any drop. They will blow. I x2. Just have a think about how old the stock struts are, and how much miles they have on them to begin with. Anyway, if you put new struts you will be very happy you did. The improvement of ride quality and handling will make you wonder why you didn't change them before.

QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

I have used GF210s on my car with OEM struts for one year (than upgraded to TEIN coilovers). My friend has them on car for three years and has no troubles at all! For reference: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=48069 PM this guy and ask for review if you want: http://www.6gc.net/members/urputus btw. according to Tanabe guide those springs are designed to be used on OEM shocks
