But into the Eibach front spring kit group buy?

I want it lower but with the Addcos F/R she already rides pretty stiff. How much worse?

Anybody had em on and removed them?

Had them, removed them and went with the cut front spring.

It was a stiff ride. Was great if I were going to track the car but since my wife and three young boys ride in the car, the Eibachs were not the right spring for me.

Okay, BC4E / Ron, has had it both ways. He'll chime in, or PM him. I used to dislike riding in his car b/c of the eibachs. But recently, he put KYB's in with that combo and I enjoy riding in his car now. My .02 It rides fantastic and handling is a dream.

Gary I had eibachs with the kyb shocks combo up front, stiff but not bouncy.
The good : the car handles great, nice stance.
The bad : stiffer ride, I can never get a dead on alignment, it lowered the car more than I wanted it.
I wouldn't do it again, specially after ridings in a car that had 3/4 of coil cut.

If you put the eibachs on the factory shocks you will have a bouncy ride.
Now, if you don't want it stiffer then it is now, cut 1/2 or 3/4 coil and be done with it.

Thought I read a while back about Eibach's not being able to handle the weight of the front end... I could be wrong.

I put on KYB's, new front tires, and cut a coil, today I'm going in for an alignment, doesn't feel like it needs it but, I'm sure it does. The handling is a marked improvement, not bouncy, nor too stiff, glad they were out of Eibach's when I decided to do this.
