Looks like it. That comes with Tokico springs, not Tein, but Tokico springs will be just fine. I think the price for the HP/S-Tech combo is usually something like $350-$400, but that's going by what I've heard.

Honestly, I don't know. I'd assume High Performance, but even Tokico refers to them as "HP". Try searching for "Tokico Blues". That's what a lot of people call them (considering they're painted bright blue lol)

Neither are HPs, or any other stock-replacement strut on the market. That doesn't mean they don't do fine with mild drops, though.

$400 is not enough to lower your car on decent parts, with the exceptions of either buying used, or buying that Tokico combo

Reaper: Well, I have heard that the GR2's do not last very long even on a mild drop. Tokico HP's seem to be better for lowering.

Okay, so would it be better to get the Tokico HP's Shocks/Springs?
or buy the Tokico Shocks along with the Tein S.Tech Springs?

btw, would it be easier to buy a coilover set, how much are they?
