KYB GR2 on stock springs

my rear right is bottoming out. I don't have a warranty and I was looking to change struts. GR2 seem like a good choice. Only springs I like are H&B's but I hate how rear is lower than front. I rather have wheel gap than have a$$ low and nose high.
Does anyone have GR2's on stock springs? how is the ride? any improvement in handling? any problems?

thanks
nik

GR2's are going to be close to the stock struts. Might as well just stay completly stock or choose a better strut.

I only know GR2 and Tokico blues which are made for 5th gen. I've read some people were not setisfied with Tokicos on lowered cars. I might consider then too since I'm not lowering. I do not want AGX. They are modded 4th gens and they are overkill for my application. plus they cost twice as much

The GR2 are about 15% firmer than stock so your ride will be a little bit harsher. However, your car will handle better and you will get rid of the sag in your rear end.
