I definitely recommend r1racer for any of your spring needs.


Eibach = stock like ride, even drop front and rear.
HR = The front is lower than the rear, and the drop is a bit more aggressive. The car is a bit more firmer as well.

So the Eibach is more like stock but a "wedge" appearance? Smoother ride then the H&R set up?
I'm just getting all my ducks in a row here.
I really want my baby dropped, but man I'll be all pissed if I'm feeling every bump in the road.
Do I have any other options here??

I'd go with an eibach if you are concerned about ride quality.

I didn't plan on modding my car, but...
If I had a nickel....

BTW, the beast gets lowered on Monday with Eibach's....will keep everyone posted on the ride in the days following.

(Not trying to hijack)...Rims next? My favs so far are the 20" HRE P40's Monobloks. They look like my old CSL's (and the Neez QD7's)...but cost thousands more, of course. In fact, Velocity Motoring already has a knock-off in the works, but only in 19" so far. http://www.modbargains.com/product.aspx?pf...elocity_V710_KY
