Gene J Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I replaced the original struts with KYB GR2 struts. Am I imagining that it is sitting an inch higher all the way around? The 98 GT wagon did sit on jack stands for 3 months but I remember the car being a bit lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYeti Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 It will be a bit higher for the first few days until your springs settle again. You are going to like those GR2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrapdaddytatum Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 i second the springs will settle i have had soobs on the lift for that long and when you set them down they sit a little high they settle after the first jump....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 No, not your imagination. A few years back, I put KYB GR2s on my VW Quantum. The car immediately sat about an inch higher, and remained that way forever. I really liked the GR2s. The car rode a little firmer then stock OEM struts, while providing better handling.
