Springs question

I'm gonna be replacin my struts w/ the KYB-GR2's and was wondering if I can run Eibach lowering springs later on. Has anyone had any experience w/ the kyb struts? I'm just looking for opinions and personal experiences.

The GR-2s are intended to be a sporty OE replacement (slightly stiffer valving), but not a sport replacement. As such, it really isn't up handling a lower and stiffer spring. The Tokico blues aren't up to it either. If you plan to go low, you are better off with the ZX-2 Tokicos. Add the budget price, and they're the way to go.

I second Davard's answer. I used to have Eibach springs with KYB GR-2s and it was way under damped. Didn't work on the road and was especially bad autocrossing. Spend the few extra bucks on the ZX2 Tokicos, you'll be very glad you did.

Underdamped.....meaning they are way too stiff? or too soft?
