Struts to go with Eibach Pro springs

[damaster]

I currently have Eibach Pro springs and Tokico HP (blue) struts all around on my car, which I had installed back in November 2005. My Tokico struts in the rear are in need of replacement (all the gas/oil has completely leaked out).

I'm considering the KYB GR2 333276 and 333277 because they're cost effective. Will they fit with the Eibach Pro springs?

I have run 2 sets of GR2s with the prokit the first set came on my old protege and didnt last long at all, the second set was on this protege and with the same springs and lasted about 4 months before clunking. I have tried the cheap Stagg struts that have good reviews outside of the mazda world. They lasted almost 5k miles before the fronts were done. I am now on Tokico HPs been about 800miles so too soon to tell, but thats what you had and if the first set lasted 6 years almost I would go with them again. I can tell you compared to the GR2s and Staggs the Blues are far stiffer so if you change to another strut you will be loosing some handling. keep in mind the GR2s are a stock replacement which means they are designed to meet OEM specs and work well with the OEM springs they are nto a performance strut.

Thanks for the advice. I was hoping to get the blues a little cheaper but damn they're pretty expensive. I guess they're worth it since my first set has lasted so long.

My rear ones have completely leaked out and my back end bounces around real bad lol
