Default Tokico blues or KYB GR-2's....too soft?

Ok here's the story
i have a 94 civic coupe lowered on Omni slip overs on stock shocks right now,roughly the drop is about 3-3 1/2",the ride sucks *** period..it's bouncy as hell and there's annoying *** creaking noises from the back all the time,well I was thinking of upgrading to either blues or gr-2's but i've been hearing that they're no better than an oem replacement?for the drop that i have is this true?

generally, those springs that come with omni slip overs are too stiff for any good.

that and tokico blues are not a performance shock, no matter what the marketing material says. illuminas are much better and have a lifetime warranty which alone make it worth it over blues.

furthermore, youre really lowered low. you really shouldnt be expecting any good of a ride.

i had a corolla dropped with coilovers and GR-2's and it still rode like crap. GR-2's are just an oem replacement and not meant for lowered vehicles.
