GR-2's are basically stock replacements, try and save up a bit more and at least get some AGX's.

GR-2's suck period. I believe LA has, dunno for sure, Tein S-Techs so it would be about the same drop that you are going for. I have seen AGX's last longer than a year with pretty hard use, they should work for you decently.

Bilsteins are the bomb-diggity. Konis are good too~ haven't had any experience with Tokicos, but I hear good things.
