Dropzone springs are a tragedy of piss-poor aftermarket engineering.
GR-2 struts are essentially OEM replacements. IIRC, slightly stiffer. I'd have to check the Suspension Thread for exact details. However, they will blow out with any springs that (stupidly) drop the vehicle 2".
If you want to drop your vehicle 2-inches, you need to either pick another vehicle from a different manufacturer. Or, you can have an incredibly sh*tty ride in your Nissan. Because you have 3-inches of OEM suspension travel. You lose 2-inches, and you have 1-inch left. It is that simple.
If you're as smart as Mike Kojima, you could relocate your stock suspension pick-up points and geometry.

Please translate to English. I cannot decipher what appears to be a contradictory statement that is missing a few words.

Good luck, and don't be a ricer.
Good advice.
