You should post this in the suspension forums. Better response there for your concern.

I think your drop might be too low and causing it to ride bouncy and feel like crap. I have an EK as well with 205/45/16 rims and I'm only dropped about 1.5 inches all the way around. I am running kyb shocks and skunk2 coil overs with ex front sway and asr rear sway. My ride isn't harsh nor bouncy. I like my setup, perfect for street.

Tokico is like an OEM replacement. I would say go with KYB especially if you want a bigger then 2 inch drop.

Run the Skunk2 Sport Shocks...

Here is a picture that JHP took of the combo


Here is a picture I took of our Sport Shocks Vs. OEM Vs. Other Aftermarket Brand


Skunk2 Sport Shocks are True Short Body/ Short Stroke Performance Shocks

i have the s techs on kyb agx, and they are ok. the ride is nice, but its a little soft for spirited driving. I also have the st front and rear sway bars with asr brace.

i bought the skunk2 sport shocks and lowering spring combo off JHP and paired them with some red BLOX lca's. i like the setup but really wouldnt recomend the blox lca's, the hard rubber bushings suck. but anyways skunk2 springs will give you 2.5 in the front and 2.25 in the rear. my buddy with his EK has them on tokico blues, but wouldnt recommend the blues unless you want a softer ride. Go with the Skunk2 sport shocks w/ the skunk2 springs because the those shocks perform better because they are designed for the skunk2's spring rates.
