Ok im about to order some shocks to go along with my eibach lowered springs. If money was'nt an issue i would order a set of bilstiens but its not in my budget right now.

So im trying to see which of the following setups are stiffer.

I have factory tems rewired to stay on the hard setting all the time. Its pretty stuff but even with my swaybrs i still exsperienced some body roll.

Will going to kyb's be considered a downgrade over the factory tems shocks?

are how does the tokico hp blues compare? How do they compare to the tokico illuminas II as far as total stiffness? and would they be considered stiffer than the stock tems shocks on full sport all the time?

I've got Eibachs on KYB's on my N/A. The ride is pretty stiff compared to my old worn TEMS struts.

My turbo car has Tokico Illumina 2's on stock springs, they're pretty stiff as well. I'd say it does ride a little better than the KYB/Eibach combo, but thats my opinion..

anything aftermarket is better than stock, maybe not KYB GR2(considered stock replacements)
I would get tokico blues and call it a day

Some people say the blues are stiffer, but after riding in a car with the blues and riding in my car (before I changed to my current setup I had GR2's) I didn't notice any difference.
