GR-2's are essentially the same.
The AGX are in the same neighborhood but anything over 2 and you're stiffer than stock. I'm running them on my wagon right now. I'd definitely recommend the yellows over all other stock but dude is on a budget. Best lower budget option is finding AGX's on sale.
As for springs...
Pink Wagon Springs.
Swift Wagon springs.
RCE Black Wagon Springs.
Crucial had wagon springs if you come across them.
B&G supposedly had wagon springs and so did Eibach.

A lot of folks run small shims anyways...
But yeah I think B/G are made by Eibach. Crucial might have been too. Don't remember.
Doesn't really matter if your specs are different. Eibach just has the facilities to make whatever you want them too.
Swift/RCE/Pinks. Probably the only 3 springs I'd ever put on a wagon.
KONI FTW for sure. Wish I would have just done that from day one.

Yeah st coilovers cannot be called junk or garbage or anything close to that. ..they aren't the best/top of the line you can buy but they are the best entry level options that aren't cheap chinese crap

That's just it...I don't recall which ones, perhaps not the V1+, possibly it was the clubsports (presumably whichever ones are the cheapest), I don't recall exactly, but they ARE manufactured in China (what isn't these days?). Not saying KW as a brand has anything wrong with them, but they're not all the same.

If i was in the market for a cheap coilover I would go with fortune 500s. (assembled/rebuildable in usa, dyno tested, free custom spring rates, and offer swift springs on them). For the price they are a good option. I have a friend that runs them and they ride well. Im suprised more subys dont run them as much as the evo guys.
