Not being a dick but this has been covered who knows how many times. But while we are on the subject, I do like my Eibach drag launchs with AGXs.

I had skunk2 coilovers with stock gsr shocks, the skunk2's were incredible for cornering compared to what I was used to, but they were way too stiff even on their softest setting. Tthe skunk2's put a lot of wear on the oem gsr shocks and finally broke the shocks a while, i switched to neuspeed sport springs (1.5") and kyb gr-2 shocks(non-adjustable) I have been more than pleased with it and find it to be very cost effective, I like to corner flat obviously when I'm driving around, but I'm not going auto-crossing or anything, so a *real* stiff coil-over 18-gazillion adjustable setting setup isn't quite the right fit for me. For me I need a bit softer, I'm in detroit area, the roads are *terrible* at best. If you've got nice tires and other suspension mods, you should be happy with a similar setup, after all you are going straight most of the time...

tires are what counts

i recommend Koni Yellows and Ground Controls. they do what the teins/Apexi's do for cheaper, plus lifetime warranty, plus being rebuilt cheaper, plus the ability to change spring rates and damper rates fairly easily. It's what i'm running on my car, and they ride excellent.

Look in my sig. I know it's not an EK but I love it.

I don't think it's a very good street set up. But when I feel like taking a corner, boy can I take a corner.
