My ride quality actually improved in handling and confort since I moved off the run-flat tires.
Do you have the non-sport shocks still on?
Did you change the springs (not shocks) at the same time as you went for non-RF's?

We all know that the RF's suck.

As for when I changed, I change the wheels and tires to 166's about 2-3 weeks after I had the Eibachs installed. Since I ordered the M6 offset I had to wait for Garry to get the wheels from Germany. So I did get to notice all 3 phases.

If you don't have sport shocks you'll probably blow them out pretty quick. But i know H&R oe sport springs are pretty close to stock spring rates.
My driving will not kill the OEM shocks, but I'm worrying about the comfort.
I have the standard chassis.

The Eibach springs will lower the car by some 30 mm, the OEM sport suspension only lowers some 25 mm.

...I have given a thought to KW Street Comfort set too.
What do you think Ricracing? The site is Finnish, sorry fellows...

How do you like your eibachs. I'm contemplating between them and h&r. I normally do all the work to my cars. Spring replacement is normally pretty straight forward as long as you have all the proper tools.
H&R are a bit hard for the roads.
