KYB AGX Shocks are awesome!!! Now advice is needed

Just met up with fellow member njmaxseltd, and got a ride in his B&G/AGX setup. The car handles awesome. It is very tight, even on the lowest setting and very smooth on the highway, body roll is minimal.
Now that brings up a whole set of issues for me.

Originally I was gonna swap out Eibachs for H&R's ( already bought the H&R's sittting in my room) to lessen the suspension rattling noises and harshness over bumps and keep the Tokico blues. But I now believe it's not the springs that are causing the major headaches of the bumps but it might be more the Tokico blues so the springs may or may not be the answer.

Now I'm thinking of the following scenarios:

1. Keep the Eibachs Replace the blues with AGX's (Cost: $375 for the AGXs + installation)

2. Get the H&R's and stick with the Tokico Blues: (Cost: just installation)

3. Get H&R's and AGX's (Cost: 375 + installation )



So I would like to know what people think about these possiblities and which would offer the best quite non noisy comfortable suspenstion. Thanks for reading!

Keep...

..the Eibachs and get the AGX.
I have this set up. No Noises/Squeeks/Rattles with this set up.. you read about others on the org that have problems with other springs when combined with the AGXs.

My current set up: Eibach Prokit/AGX/FSTB/RSTB/Stillen LWRSWB
The car Feels SOLID, Seems to Brake better and "Move out" better on the highway. Hitting bumps/driveways/speed bumps the car is now "Denser" or "Thicker". The car once felt "mushy" like an OVER RIPE MANGO. NOW it feels like a SOLID APPLE cutting around corners like it was meant to be.

With the Rear Stillen Sway Bar SETTINGS 2Front/5Rear is perfect.

In my opinion (or rather my ***'s opinion), the eibachs are a much firmer/harsher ride. The H&R's are much more progressive and more like stock on a relatively smooth road. Each seems to drop about the same...
