I've heard a lot sagging issues when using eibach springs.
My order of 167 is coming soon and I need to choose springs. I'm still torn between eibachs and HR. I dont mind a stiff ride (I love 330 stiff!), but I don't want it bouncy. (Bouncy like hitting a rock and then ur car bounces 2-3 times).
I like the look of HR, but I feel that if I chooise eibachs, they might sag a bit and it'll be perfect. What do you guys think?
Plus I drive 5 people and 100lb of luggage in the trunk a lot. Don't want to kill the car.

H&R Sport. It would appear that the majority of members here with springs have H&R.

I dunno. That picture was taken when I first got the H&R spacers installed. Here are some pictures taken at different Meets. It's not that low. You'll have to see it in person. I'll be driving up to LA this Friday afternoon. If you want to see my car I can make a quick detour.

Since we can't go back and make corrections, I had to reply to myself. I meant to say "That picture was taken when I first got the H&R Sport springs and spacers installed."
What about when theres a lot of people in the car?
