As you said, your experience was with 2 different
cars. I still don't think the GR2's will offer
sufficient damping for Eibachs.

Keep in the mind that the SHO specific Sachs struts
were also supposed to be somewhat firmer when new..

If only KYB would make AGX struts for our car! I found
the online petition that I created 2 years ago to KYB.
Maybe I'll try to submit it again.
