Guys with Eibach and GR2 combination please speak up

Anyone running this setup, and if so, how do you like it? I know I want Eibach springs for the spring rates and height, I just can't dump a ton on the struts. I drive the car hard and don't mind the stiff ride, so the budget is really the concern.

Here's how it seems to shape up based on quality (seems to be related to price too):

1. Koni Yellows
2. Illuminas
3. AGX
4. GR2
5. Blues

Do I have those out of order in anyone's opinion?

I have that setup and personally the ride isn't bad. There are a few roads in San Diego that the car goes pretty rough over sometimes and I have bottomed out before but believe that was more due to the angle of the driveway I was coming out of. I do want more of an aggressive drop though, Eibachs only give you 1.5" drops all around.

Thanks for the input. The Eibach drop is okay with me, as I don't really want the slammed look because I plan to keep the stock wheels. I'm more concerned with the quality and feel of the struts.

i have the eibach and gr2 setup, i like this setup its not harsh at all. the ride only gets bad if your going through a road that is full of pot holes! other than that you don't notice it at all!

Your list is correct, however Konis blow all the others out of the water. The GR-2/Eibach combo is harsh, dont let anyone tell you other wise. Its not horrible, but it cant be made comfortable by any means. Do yourself a favor and get something adjustable.
