Are these decent for our cars? I used these on my last non LS car and they were fine, just like stock pretty much. Maybe a bit firmer.

I'm most likely going to be using the Eibach springs also. I just don't want to leave the stocker Decarbon's on there and I cant afford adjustables.

I have these on the rear and hate them. I really hated them with stock springs, now that they are cut a coil, the shocks are more bearable. But still, I can't stand them. They feel like the rear end is all over the place.

Bare minimum with lowering springs I'd recommend these: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=20&ModelID=7 or these: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=20&ModelID=7

Depends on what you expect and want to pay. Both are built similarly, the Tokico's are cheaper because they aren't adjustable. When in doubt, I'd go with adjustables because at least you have some flexibility.

the GR-2s are good if you're just looking for a stock replacement. i replaced my stockers with them and their was improvement, only because the stock ones had a lot of miles on them. if i were to do it again i would have gone adjustable and a better brand FWIW.

They were worse than the stockers actually. And my stockers had 140k on them.
