So I installed my Teins and GR-2s in January See Here
Anyway, the bumping I hear has gotten much worst. I was trying to ignore it, but it got to the point I was afraid something was going to come through the floor. Had a garage look at it and they said my struts were bad... I just installed these things! Anybody have this happen? I got the GR-2s that everybody else here runs, but the garage said if I ran stock struts and lowering springs the strut could bottom out and fail.

BS - these guys just got a lemon. Plenty of us on here have been running Teins and Eibachs for years on bilsteins, GR2's, Koni's even monroes without these problems.
Like I said tho - you are lowering your cars on sportier suspension - don't be looking for Lexus quality ride. Also make sure you are changing out the bump stops etc too. Alot more goes into your ride quality than just springs and struts.
