i have the eibach pro kit and KYB gr-2's.  i spent like $230 for the springs and $200 for the struts.  usually the struts are ~$230+

im very pleased with this setup.  i wanted to ride in another s14 with different struts to see if there was a difference.  but i dont think ill change the struts, i have no complaints.

that is definately a good deal

i hear gr-2's are only marginally superior to OEM, and are not ideal for a significant drop. i was considering picking up a set because of the price, but i held out a few months and got the AGX's,

no complaints here.

I've got the GR-2s and ProKits too...it's nice. I haven't ridden in anything else though, so I can't give a huge opinion. It feels like it has some tendency to understeer, but you can feel the road well through them, and the ProKits are a nice subtle drop.

Personally I wouldn't be happy with non-adjustable shocks, but i'm anal like that. I've got mine set pretty hard so I can feel the road well and I don't get much body roll.
