Anyone have stock springs and aftermarket shocks

I'm dropped on Tein S-techs right now with KYB-GR2's. I'm getting kinda tired of the rough ride so im putting my suspension back to stock. Anyone have their car with stock springs and either gr2's or tokico blues? I wanna know how it rides.

I always thought that once you go dropped, you never go back. Are you ready to deal with the wheel gap? Why don't you try Illuminas on the softest setting with Maxspeeds? I hear that is a good compromise.

I got stock springs on tokico blues. The ride quality is excellent while being and great performance shock.(none of that underdamping feel of stock shocks, wheels stay glued to the road and handling is awesome. What surprised me was how smooth these shocks are. I expected since these shock are high performance that they'd be stiff, but they are not stiff at all. If you want hp shocks with a very comfortable ride quality buy these and pair them with stock springs.!!!!!!!!!!

You should get maxspeed springs if u want stock ride quality. It's a minimal drop compare to other springs but ride is just like stock.
