suspension related question

hey fellas whats up,

my car is been lowered for about 50k miles (kyb gr2 struts+ eibach lowering springs). I need to raise it back to stock height and wanted to re-use the stock springs with the kyb's, will that present a problem? Do I need to change the struts as well if I want to raise the car back up. I dont have the stock struts at this point, only the springs. Any thoughts will be appreciated

If you have a set of brand new OEM shocks intsall the OEM ones, if no, go for GR2s. GR2 are a bit too stiff (15% stiffer) but considering higher quality and better design they should also be fine...

Make sure you have a barf bag handy so you're prepared to witness the wheel gap.
