I've used KYBs in the past. Konis are in a different league if you ask me.

350Z H with KYB
Thanks all...I’m getting some 350Z H springs and did not want to keep my factory shocks. I do not think anyone has tried this setup yet, hopefully the shock will hold up better than factory.
the GR-2 are just a cheap non adjustable version of the AGX or AXG. just save like another 100- 150 bucks and get the adjustable version.
and I had the GR2 if you change your mind and go too low with a different spring you will blow the GR2.
trust me just save a little more and get the KYB AGX adjustable. You'll be way happier.

First thing, the GR2 is a oem replacement and is not designed for use with stiffer lowering springs. I've had run in's with the shock on other application's and it's alway's the same story. People buy them because they are cheap and run them with springs they shouldn't. Tokico D-specs are still your go to shock for that and worth every penny they cost over a GR2.
Where I see a market for them.
Sedan's with oem Z springs that have oem sedan shocks. You'd get a set of shocks that should be valved like oem revised Z shocks with a warranty avoid any possible issues associated with treading into the used market.
Coupes that don't have the 05+ sport suspension, the GR2 should firm up the suspension a bit since it's valving would mirror the Z revised shocks.

Kyb with 350Z H on a G
Thanks for the info…I just want to be clear on what you said, the GR-2 are just like the factory shock I have on the G now they are none adjustable. If I plan to go lower, I should go for the adjustable one. If I do not want to go lower, I should be ok with the 350Z H. Is that what you’re saying? Thank in advance.

Shocking..............!
I had KYBs on my '92 300ZXTT and they worked great. I would go with the
Tokicos DSP-9 shocks with the Tein H-Tech springs. This what I have and
it's a perfect match. This combo is available thru everythingg35.com at a
good price.

How they are vs your oem shocks depends on your oem starting point since they are R&D'd from a 350z shock starting point. If you have a coupe with oem 17 or 18 inch wheel's, the GR2 should be stiffer. If your coupe has oem19's, the GR2's should not feel any different.
Having run 350Z H-tech's myself, they are a relatively mild spring vs oem, shouldn't be a problem for GR2's. D-spec's being adjustable isn't the key to why you would want them for lowering or any other reason. You'd want them because they are a superior shock with the kind of valving that let's you know very quickly why you spent the extra money for them.
