Strut ? lease Help Me

Ok guys I have a 95 240 right..Well about 7 months ago I bought lowering springs for it 1.75" drop front and rear.Well I just threw them on not thinking about the stock struts plus being 10+ years old.

Well advedently I blew my rear struts straight out the water.My ride sucks its bouncy as hell and Im being thrown all over the place.

So for a quick buy to fix it fast I bought Kyb Gr-2's.
Now I hear this is a decent strut for stock replacmentss but only Work well when teamed Only with stock springs...Is this true??

Should I put them on or when I put them on should I put them with my stock springs...Keep in mind I only bought the rears since the front struts have been holding there own.

Wouldnt it look stupid Stock springs in the rear and lowering springs in the front?

Plus the boots on all of my struts are trashed and gone.
Also I wanna fix it right I want them to last a few months because I hate the lowering springs it was the worst money I have ever spent and Im gonna start saving for coil over.

Any suggestions Im planning on the Megan coil overs since I have like 3-4 other megan parts on my car and there actually pretty decebt for the money..

So should I stock spring rear with Gr-2 or take the risk with the lowering spring Or should I Put stock springs all the way around replace the rear struts sell the lowering springs and save for coilovers?

Please help me guys Im not much of the suspension guy I barely kno Shi* about suspension.

well how long do u think itll be before u get coils? u can go without boots, its just you get more dirt up on the cylinder which could cause premature wear..otherwise i think u can get boots at a local auto store for pretty cheap..

how much did u pay for the springs?

tein is prolly the best outa those, but it depends which ones u get, dont get the basics..
