okay here’s my dilemma.  
I got kyb gr2 shocks that came with the car when i bought it.  
i want to lower it, i’m not looking forward to spending too much  
(not more than 300?) I’m gonna do the installation.  
I checked out the group buy on the eibach… pretty tempting  
but i wanted to see if it’s worth it.

I also wanted to ask you guys, can even put a coilover on the gr2 shocks.  
Any input on the difference between brand name and cheap coilovers/springs?  
pros and cons of lowering springs/coilovers?

you “could” put a coilover on the gr2’s…its called a coilover sleeve…but don’t, its not worth it. get springs/shocks or coilovers.

Not more than $300? get the eibachs then.
