I'm happy with my ST's + KYB's..

about the price from jazz.. did you consider buying shock boots+bump stops?

this will add about 100$ or a bit more I guess...

Eibach have good reputation, but I don't know weather you'll engoy the progressive feature or not, from my point of vew, if you drive mostly on a rough road (bad road) progressive might be bad in such a way that you'll be always close to maximum copression of the spring, while non progressive will resist compression linearly..

but on highways I think progressive perform much nicer with the smoothness of the softer portion of coils..

it is just an opinion Ramses..

The KYB-GR2 struts would increase the ride height over stock too much or I would put those on.

When I installed the KYBs with factory stock springs, the ride height increased about 1/4 to 3/8". I figured I can live with that.
