Kyb 4 gr-2 struts shocks with eibach prokit

Hello everyone,

I am looking to upgrade my stock shocks/struts as i am still on stocks and lowered on eibach prokit. I have put around 23k on my stock shocks/struts with the eibach springs installed and its starting to feel bouncy. Would the kyb's be fine with the eibach prokit and be an upgrade from the stock setup.

Josh

GR-2's are stock replacement parts. NOT meant for drop. AGX's would work with the pro kit.

gr2 struts are actually not oem spec struts, they are about 10$ firmer to compensate for other suspention wear. in my past car, an 86 z24, gr2's with sprints worked great and have lasted almost 80k km and are still going (i sold them when i got rid of the car, a friend still has them and they are like new). i would have gone with a more performance strut but thats all that was offered.

basicly, they will work, but they arent a performance strut and dont be surprised if they dont last. i myself would go with something like ss/tc struts or konis.

I was thinking ss/sc or ss/tc shocks/struts. I can get the ss/tc shocks/struts for $350 on gmpartsdirect.com which isn't all that bad. The koni's are the best but just too much for the cost in my opinion. Will the fe5 stock shocks/struts bolt right or do i need other parts?
