Well... stockers will likely be more expensive, especially if you had the adjustable units.
GR2s are an improvement over the non-adjustables, not much improvement over the adjustables, but way cheaper.
As for the Eibach springs.... MEH. I don't like them. Prokits are junk. Sportlines are a little better.
If the $100 springs are Prokits, do yourself a favor and spend an extra $40 and get the Megan Racing springs. If the $100 springs are Sportlines, it's more of a wash, though i'd still do the Megans.
“One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that if you drive into London at 6am, half of the cars on the roads are Porsches and Astons. Whereas if you go in at ten to nine, they’re all Renaults. Simple solution, then. You want a nice car? Get up earlier and do more work.”
Honestly, on most of the cheaper progressive springs, i never feel much difference. The only huge difference i felt was going from Eibachs to the Megans.
How much are the KSports?

You can find the Megans for $140. If they're the same price or close, i'd say go with the Megans just because i KNOW that they're pretty good.

Yeah, you SHOULD be set. I'd inspect your mounts very thoroughly when you have everything out.
Now again, i've told you that this setup won't be very autox worthy or anything, so don't come back on me if you end up not liking it.
It's a pretty extreme lowering, but still rather comfy. Mainly for looks, and it'll be an improvement over the worn out junk that's on your car now. But in the end, you get what you pay for. Mine does exactly what i wanted at the time, so i'm not complaining.

will i get less body roll thats my biggest concern. I also have a 22mm lower sway and a upper front 38mm strut bar and a rear 19mm strut bar. So I have some strength up top...
The strut bars won't do anything for roll. They're there to help eliminate "twist."
But yes, i'm confident that you'll end up with less body roll. I have pretty minimal roll on my car. Low speed damping could be a little better, but again... $330. I can't complain. You gotta pay to play, and i didn't feel like paying on this car, since i've got two other cars getting cubic dollars sunk into them.

I'm not sure why some people don't like Eibachs. I have them on my CX Honda, along with their struts and that thing handles better than anything else I've ever driven. In fact, Callaway, who does killer turbo upgrades for many manufacturers recently did a killer Camaro that destroys the SS factory setup. Callaway chose Eibach for the springs and other suspension parts. They know their stuff.
Eibach makes good springs. The Prokits aren't one of them. The Sportlines are iffy in my book, but they aren't TERRIBLE.
So, i guess i should clarify: Eibach linear race springs are good.

take gavin's advice in the other thread and get a solid addco front sway bar.
you know know what the 24mm front and 19mm rear sway with big endlinks feels like on old blown out aas and stock springs.
I usually just replace them when they start to look bad. Rusty, cracked, etc...
