Default KYB AGX & Eibach springs - whats the ride like?

Thinking of upgrading my MY00 suspension to the above shock/spring setup.

Can those who have this or similar give comparison to standard ride quality. Don't want anything to crashy becuase the roads round here aren't great and I don't want my daughter bouncing about in the back

Many thanks.

Hi
I have a MY00 with AGX adj and eibachs, the ride is better than standard if you have the shocks turned down, but will still out handle the standard set up. It only takes a couple of minutes to adjust the shocks(bit fiddly on the rears) which means you can have it for comfort, or playtime in the space of a couple of minutes.
Firts suspension mod I would recommend is uprating the drop links and anti roll bars.
Get the geometry checked
Then get an anti lift kit, stops the mose lifting under acceleration and improves traction.
It becomes endless, just depends on your personal preference.
I would highly recommend the shocks and springs.
Cheers
Jt

I just ordered a set in the US and was thinking about the same thing...

What springs are best used, the stock ones or Eibachs ?

Why from US mate? A set of 4 is 315 from the group buy and won't be that much more if not part of a GB.

I think from all accounts on here the Eibachs are a good match.

Sorry, been away for a while and didn't see the GB.
I ordered the parts bij shox.com, they qouted me 650 Euro's, postage to Belgium included and that's silly money (and about the same as the GB...)
