Well, I just found out that my HKS springs are very very very rare in the US, and only a few sets were imported of this type. I have the ex001's, which aren't even on HKS's site. They are rated HARD, and the ex002's are rated soft, and are what shows on their site.

I'd highly recommend them, but you'll need to get them through someone that can order from hkskorea.com

I wouldn't get the KYB GR2 struts with those springs. They are an OEM replacement and are only designed to handle up to a 1.5" drop. I have them with my Eibach springs (1.2" drop) and they are great but they will likely wear out prematurely with the B&G springs and the warranty will not be honoured by KYB.

You would be better off getting struts that are designed for a lowered car.
