Default Just got back from shop...replaced eibachs w/oem sports....

Wow...I should have done this a while ago. I have the Neubil's on the lowest perch. It's 100x's better. Gapina paid me a small visit of course (about an extra finger all the way around) putting the oem's back in but it is totally worth it for the ride improvement. This is an excellent setup for all around performance. This setup also really shows off the quality of the bilsteins. They do an excellent job of soaking up the bumps and potholes but still firm enough to add greatly improved handling. I took the I5 back from LA to OC (probably the worst pavement conditions in the state) and I was very pleased with the ride. The guys at F1 in LA gave me a great deal too (for the second time hehe). Sorry so long but I'm pretty stoked.
Peace

Default I'm not disappointed with my pro-kits...a little softer than oem sport

I used to also have oem sports, then went to the prokits

A little more lean on turns, but I have no complaints, other than putting 500 lbs in the trunk and having a little rubbing issues

Good set-up IMO
BTW I have neuspeed bilsteins, so the drop is almost like a race set-up

Hm... Do the Eibach Pro springs have a lower spring rate than the OEMsport springs?

Default Really, I guess the butt dyno is different for everyone

Compared to other springs, I heard Eibachs have the lowest spring rate, but I am happy with mine
