that is the setup i have now, i do recommend changing the struct mounts and struct boots, and the rubber insulator where the spring meets the strut as they should be worn as well.

it doesn't lower the car, but stiffen the car a little bit, just feel like drivign a new car.

here is MY personal rating from 0 to 10, where 0 being soft/floating, 10 being harsh/stiff

oem spring + oem struct = 2
oem spring + tokico = 6
eibach spring + kyb-gr2 = 10
eibach spring + tokico = 9

eibach spring very good for corning, but too stiff for me as a daily driver

what about tein springs with tokico?

sorry, i have no experience with tein spring + tokico yet, but i heard that combo is just as good as eibach spring + tokico.

Well, Eibach and TRD are one in the same, right?

I got a brand new set of KYBs and they feel tight....I live in new york city and too stiff is no good in my case due to the potholes

Go with the Tokico's. You will be satisfied I promise. But, if you want your suspension near OEM stiffness then get KYB's.
