they're fine...they have a certain capacity of dampening, i think aftermarket springs kinda push them beyond that a little...

mine have been good to me so far, ride is not bad overall.

You shouldn't need a camber kit, but go get it aligned ,they will tell you if you need it or not

when i got mine aligned they put washers on the strut mount studs up front, not sure what they did down below...and the rear i'm not sure either...but any hardware they used was included in the price of the alignment, which you should have done anyway...

I'ma bump this old thread. Getting close to replacing my front struts with the KYB GR-2 Struts.. I'd like a slight drop in the front (Half inch to an inch) and was looking at the Tein SKR66-AUB00. I'll get around to the back when I can afford it with the COVID and all... Are these the same springs shown in this 10 year old thread? Because if it's that low the old girl is not gonna fair too well with these friggin' Newfoundland potholes. Cranswick I've noticed you still lurk around here from time to time and you've had this combo haven't ya? Place sure seems dead since i've gotten her outta the garage after a 5 year hibernation.

On second thought. I'll just reuse the stock springs and replace the struts. Not worth the grief i'll be gettin' from the missus. That and me trying to convince myself that "This was a great upgrade!", while I hunker down on the brakes over the bits and bobs in the road that I used to crash and/or float right over just a week earlier.
