Default Shocks to Upgrade Supsension

I was looking (since my shock is going to be off when I put new springs on anyways on getting some KYB GR-2's would this give me a good ride with the Eibach springs?

Thanks
Matt

I heard ppl praise Koni yellow. I got the tokico illuminas since that was my only choice at NOPI after I blew out my stocks when installing springs. The illuminas are great for compfort but I don't see a large handling increase with my setup. It is damn comfortable though. I would also recommend getting new endcaps so that you don't have to take apart ur stock strut/spring. I think they are cheap and u will save a LOT of work.

gr2's are stock replacement struts if your not dropped....they will blow if your dropped just like stockies.....get some kyb agx's or tokico hps at the minimum....if not go for yellows
