raise it up if you want to keep this setup for abit...your stock suspension will be gone in no time flat

Your car is bottomed out. The KYB's will not help this at all. You will need to raise your car up to have at least 1 inch of suspension travel. You could also save your money and buy shortened struts if you want to keep your car this low.
