I had the KYB GR2's with SSC Gen II Springs, Reptile owns them now, but I did not like the harsh ride they provided in a DD. My next setup for lowering my car will be the KYB AGX struts and hopefully another set of SSC Gen II's, a lot of people have commented that the AGX's are more "lowered friendly" the regular GR2s.
But like you said Arch, I built mine from scratch and got all new rubber rings and other parts to make a complete new setup. And just kept my stockers for when I would ever change out my car.
Here is a picture of the setup I had before I installed them..
