s-techs are way too low for your stock struts. Chances are they're blown too. The KYB AGX's can take the drop from the s-techs without too much of a sweat. The GR2's though are stock replacements. They will probably blow out soon enough on s-techs.

I have that same setup you described and it handles great... no bouncing when I hit a bump on a turn, it also sticks to the road pretty good over hills that would normally pop you in the air a few inches... not that ive done that tho

It dropped me 1.4" in front and .9" in back

I actually had konis with tanabe gf210 springs before switching to Stance coilovers which I'm still doing some testing on before I post a review.
