The gr2s are OEM replacement ONLY....so nothing will work to drop them. They will blow within a week. Not a good idea to put any type of drop on them.
Eibach Pro Kit is good you just need good struts...koni makes some of the best you can buy.

Well with any type of drop you will mistily need a camber kit. I have a camber kit but I’m running ALOT of negative camber so I can take turns ALOT faster than most but wears down your tires ALOT faster I mean ALOT faster. I’m also sitting really really low...less than a finger gap all the way around. That’s ALOT more than just 1.5" drop.
Basically look at thies pics and you will see what your tires will look like if your lower your car w/o a camber kit. Even know this is the outer edge of my tires that are wearing due to having negative camber this is what you inner edges of your tire will look like without a camber kit.

so put it this way positive camber (what you get when lowering your car with no camber kit) makes your tires sit like more like this /-----\ vs. negative camber makes your tires sit more like mine \-----/

That is only after 8-10k miles maybe less. I really don’t remember...but they don’t last long at all.

Default Camber COrrection

You get Negative Camber from lowering you car, not positive


Negative Camber /-----\

Positive Camber \------/
