i had GR-2s, but after about a yr the ride was bouncy as hell, and this was with tein S-techs. they are probably your best bet though.

I have Illuminas on my GLE Maxima and think it's softer than my stock ride was, but I have H&R springs...they are softer than Eibachs

with stiff springs like eibachs you're never gonna have a comfy GLE-like ride...its your springs, not the shocks that are giving you a rough ride bro.

Peraltt: Is the picture in your sig, the H&R's?? The reason I ask is that your car looks lower than the other H&R drops I have seen.
