Lowering springs with a softer ride? Such a thing?

Will any Echo struts/shocks fit the xb?
fyi, i had the eibachs on mine and they were good. i changed my springs because my wife didnt like it lowered. so i put the stocks back on. that lasted about a couple of months and i bought megan springs. dropped it 2" all around.

Thanks for the fyi on the Eibachs. I don't have a wife to worry about anymore: a good thing considering the amount of $$ I'm throwing at this box (that's a direct quote from the ex)! I'll do some more searching on the KYB question, but this noob welcomes any more opinions.

Thanks RaginCajun. I think I may as well do the whole set of Monroes while I have everything apart for the springs. With the set of Monroes being $50 or so less than just the Koni Yellow rears, can't go wrong. That'll leave me with some stockies with only 1500 miles on 'em for spares.
