Default should i trade my shocks and springs for this?

My friend has tokico illuminas with skunk2 sleeves.

i have KYB agx with eibach prokit.

should trade? i do not want to slam my car to the ground. i want a stiffer ride, but not so stiff i can feel every single bump on the road. thank you!!

the eibach will ride 10x better than the skunk2's and the kyb's are adjustable so you can adjust your ride quality. try some sway bars with the shocks set on a softer setting. you will be very pleased

that's wut i was thinking too. i have been riding on skunk2 rear sway bar, agx and eibachs for over 3 years and i love it, but i just think maybe it would be a good time to switch over to illuminas if i have the chance since i want a little bit more stiffness in my ride. i am definitely going to keep my eibachs however. i think skunk 2 sleeves will be too harsh and too low for city driving.

aren't illuminas 5 way adjustable? i'd go with those over agx's. as for the skunk2 coilovers being too low, they're coilovers, so they're adjustable too. my friend has skunk2 coils on stock shocks and it rides pretty decent, not too stiff at all. i have koni yellows with h&r race springs (h&r race is supposed to be similiar stiffness to eibach sportlines) and imo the springs are too soft. i wish i could put skunk2's on, but i hear the skunk2 kit for putting their coilovers on konis sucks.
