Ok I've waited forever and now I'm finally gonna get my Eibachs put on. I have a few questions first. I got my struts replaced a couple months ago and I've recently had the two front strut mounts replaced and the car is riding fairly well and the handling isn't too shabby either. The guy at the place I'm taking it to said that putting them on is going to afect the handling adversely versus stock. He also said that even with the camber kit it will still never be aligned just right. Now I really don't want my car car to ride like crap nor do I want to lose my handling characteristics. However I do understand that with stiffer springs you won't get "Caddy" ride quality and that's not what I'm expecting the springs to do. I really just want the wheels and tires to fit the fenders. I'm thinking that the purchase of a strut bar VERY shortly after the spring installation could curb these effects. I don't really know what to expect so I would appreciate opinions from those of you that have thses springs. Thanks in advance.

The stock struts, even new ones, won't last long with aftermarket springs, the rears will do alright with them. With Eibach's the car can be aligned without the use of any camber correction kits, they only lower 1.2". You will be satisfied with the handleing of your car with these springs, and they aren't all that harsh.

Like Hojo said you will NOT need to use a camber kit. The car isn't being dropped enough. A simple alignment should fix any issues post install. The struts should last a little while since they are newer but they will wear pretty quick. As far as handling you will be pleased but instead of an FSTB next go with sway bars

Well the guy at the place I ordered the springs from said that the replacement struts will be just fine alongside the Eibachs because the place I got them from uses a premium strut and not the cheap ones. I will fnd out for sure. I do think that the handling etc. will definitely improve.
