Default KYB GR-2 with Eibach Pro-kit springs?

Hi, can I use Eibach Pro-kit springs or H&R Sport Springs with KYB GR-2 shocks or would I need other shocks? I just want a moderate drop nothing crazy and I'm looking for the cheapest way to do it. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

According to KYB those GR2s should handle up to 1.5" drop. I can't remember where I read that, but I will find it and post it on here. I am pretty sure that's what it said, but not 100% positive.

oem replacement shocks such as the gr-2, or any shocks specd for your vehicle are compatible with springs/coilovers specd for your vehicle. please note that the gr2s are likely to wear more quickly under a drop, even a small one, but should be fine for 5-10 years.

they blow QUICK on any type of drop...even the 1in they say they can handle...Iv tried and blew them out. Make your ride really bouncy too...I really didn't like them...it was a total waste of 200bucks
