What Shocks work well with Eibach Prokit?

I have the Eibach Prokit springs in my car, and my shocks are shot. What shocks should I get to have a nice ride, not to harsh??? Anyone have specific experience with the Eibachs and a certain shock?

I got some good info from people yesterday on shocks in general, thank you to all that posted. Now looking for specific combos with Eibach. Thanks!

So what do you suggest I get for struts with the Eibachs? Becuase my stock struts blew real quick.

I found KYB GR2's for $205 for all 4. I would love to only spend that much if they are going to last, how long have you had yours?

about 8 months or so. As long as you don't pair them with 2" lowering springs they should last you years.

I have illuminas and eibachs and would recommend them both. The ride can get pretty bumpy over rough rodes but handles great and don't have to worry about bottoming out too much. I would get some kind of good adjustible struts (shocks with spring mounts, nothing more) to pair with them. I have mine set on 5 front/5 back.
