I installed the H&R's to stiffen the ride and after driving it...I don't think it worked as well as I'd hoped.
What do you suggest....
1. Keep the H&R Springs and get some Koni race shocks.
2. Get H&R Race springs and Koni Race shocks
3. Get Stasis or KW or H&R coilovers?
Obviously 3 is, by far, the most expensive but is it that much better than doing one of the other two options?
Also, pulled the 628 relay...what a difference!

Shocks...stiffer springs don't help float at all
Which brand? I don't know...several people here have said Koni sucks...wears out very fast...others? Definitely need shocks though...
Coilovers would cure it too...much more money...some have liked, some have not liked the results though.

Springs too strong for stock shocks...
you don't have too many choices. Eibachs not available for late build 01 on up. I am in exactly the same boat. I think Koni's are the only choice in shocks. Coilovers next stop.

You know - Coilovers vs. spring shock is not all that different $$
Eibach springs and shocks plus install was aboput $1500.
Coilover sintall is MUCH less expensive, as they bolt right in. No strut disassmbly.
I would look for a set of the Eibach shocks. They are Gas as opposed to Koni. I have Konis, and would probably do the OEM sport shocks before I did Koni
