[Shotimes] Eibach springs with stock struts?

[Dave Garber]

I'm looking for the combination that best emulates the ride/handling of
my 99. Whether that's stock springs with the GR-2's, or the Eibachs with
the Tokico's I don't know. Anyone here have an opinion?

I agree 100%.  I have Koni's and SHOshop linear springs on my '95 MTX.
That HAS to be the worst combination there is.  The car is so low that
it scrapes on everything and a dip in the road will scrape the front
cat.
I'm watching this thread with interest since I need to replace the
struts/springs on my '93 MTX.
I'm considering returning my '95 to bone stock and using some of the
parts on my wife's '93.  Since she already has Koni's and Eibach's, she
doesn't need the Koni's from my '95, so I have been thinking of trying
the Koni's on a set of MOOG Cargo Coil springs for my '93.  Anyone ever
tried this combination?  Anyone know of the correct spring numbers for a
GENII?  I have heard different stories about the CC springs.  One person
tells me that they raise the car waaaayyyy to much.  Another says that
you have to use springs from a different application to get the correct
ride height.
