Need Opinion on eibach & KYB GR2

Hi, I am about to get a set of eibachs off a memeber on this board. I plan to use GR2s with the Eibachs. Does anyone have this combo? Should I go with the GR2s or save for the AGXs? I've heard that the GR2s are an OEM replacemnet, however I have also read that some people have used them with H&Rs and found them adequate.

if you're only interested in looks then go for the GR2s. i recommend saving for AGXs though. the dampening difference is night and day plus it's adjustable.

it's worth the wait..i seem to have a high tolerance. so i set my shocks stiff. 3 front, 6 rear. handling is a 9. i only say that because my dad has a WRX which is a more dynamic car in stock form. but i have all the confidence in this suspension. it's perfect. eibach's aren't very low. the gap can get lower compared to hondas, but it suits me since i'm not after that look. it looks just fine now. no more off-roading. definately go for eibachs since they have high spring rates. don't be worried about it getting too stiff. you can always dial the shocks down. the handling is just awesome compared to stock (no body roll). good luck.

How is the ride on with this setup? I've heard that the eibachs are harsh. What do you think of them. Thanks. I think I'll probably save for the AGXs then. Also was there a big diff. before and after the rear sway bar?

it's highly individual. i like the feel of the eibachs and i drive heavily rutted philly streets often. of course other people want more of a compromise. you won't be disappointed with the eibachs. the handling is simply awesome. i recommend the sway bar also. it's one of the first mods you should get in my opinion.

Thanks, I guess I'll pick up a RSB as well then.
