Alright lil santana..I have had the KYB-AGX with stock springs they rode pretty damn good..My dsm has the Tokico illuminas with eibach pro kit springs and they pretty good also..Just one word of advice always go with adjustable struts and lowering springs never adjustable springs..That was all man hope that helps you out some

I had tokico 5 way adjust. with ground control springs and the ride was amazing. It really all boils down to personal preference.

I'm' riding on kyb gr-2. all i know is, they ride better than my factory's did. I wouldn't have gotten any struts if it weren't for my factory one busting. I paid over $200 for them, but they are worth it. now...if I were to just get rid of my cheap ebay coilovers (eventually) ... I will be in business.

At first i had eibach sportlines on my agx's, rode awesome. Set on 1, it was comfortable and set on 4 was nice and stiff. When i put the skunk2's on it lowered it from 1.7 to 2.5 so it wasn't as stiff. But personally the eibachs make the car sit funny but the skunk2s looked awsome! Ill post some pics of the difference if i can find them.
EDIT:Here is a pic w/ skunk2's. I can't find the eibach...

I have the KYB GR-2's w/ TEIN S.Tech springs on my sedan. They're okay in my opinion.
