Default I used the Eibach Pro Kit and it gives decent ride but

the fronts drop only about half as much as the rears do. I think its typical of the Eibachs from most of the posters here.

Default I endorse the S8 suspension upgrade

20-25mm drop all the way around and a civilized ride to boot! I have some pics on my poster.
