gr-2's and eibachs??

I have a 95 gle with some 17's on it and I just ordered some eibach pro-kits for my max. I have gr-2's on there now so what kind of ride should i expect? I do plan on buying some thing more agressive strut/shock wise soon, but for now this is what i got.

The ride will be very harsh...GR2's are factory replacements. They are really not meant to be used for a drop.

You think so even with the modest 1.5 drop and spring rates of the eibachs?

Also will I have to cut bump stops

Got any pics? I want to put Eibach prokit on mine, but with HP's. Either way, I would like to see pics of the drop. (even though my wheels are stock SE 16's)If you could.

No dude your not gonna scape. ive got gr2 with eibachs 17 inch rims, its fine tuned. i dont have anything else done to susp. yet, maybe sway bar next. but its a nice sport tuned set up vs. the very harsh racing tuned set up which will cause you to scrape. it does not feel like a mini van anymore.

don't put Gr-2's with eibachs. It just sucks. I would rather have just been stock. The Gr2's are too stiff for normal driving, yet when i hit big bumps they seem useless and the car just bottoms out. So it's bad no matter what. from what i've heard Illumina's are worth the extra $150 bucks or so.

The car already had gr-2's when I bought it. I just keeping them for a few months until I get some illuminas.

I put the springs on and the ride is stiff. It really doesn't bottom out unless you really hit something hard. Lets put it this way its definitely not as bad as i thought and I do 100% philly driving too. This set-up will do fine till I get my illuminas.
