Default KYB GR-2 + Skunk2 Lowering Springs for EG

Is this a good setup for a daily driver EG? I'm tight on cash, and this was one of the cheapest setups I could come up with, which is running at 350 dollars total. Has anyone ever tried these or have any comments regarding this setup?

Good setup for daily? No. Do it right or leave it stock.

OP, the GR-2's are OE replacement shocks, not performance shocks. The Skunk2 springs lower too much and the spring rates are too high for those shocks. You'll want something like, at least, Koni STR.T's for those springs.

If you're tight on money now, then why not wait to save up some more for a better setup? If your car really dying to be lowered? If you have blown shocks, then just upgrade your shocks and buy the springs later on. Be patient with this kind of stuff and your end result will be much better.
