Ive tryed several manufacturers dampers with my Eibach 50/30 drop and honestly, Ive found my standard dampers a better match than Either GAZ or Koni so far. Im pining my last hopes on a set of Bilstein B8's, just cant bring myself to waste another couple of hundred quid finding out. Ive been running standard shocks for the last 5 years with lowering springs and they still work perfectly, and Ive had the lower springs reduces shocker life argument already, I'm convinced the difference is negligable if any.
