Haha, I am running Swafford's Eibachs and he has my old Sprints...

My daily commute down here is WAY too rough for Sprints, I was banging off the bumpstops all damn day. My drop now isn't as low as the Sprints were (obviously), but it is even. I am much happier now with the ride and handling of my car. No, I dont care that you cant tell it's lowered unless it's parked next to a stock Max...

My Sprints sure weren't even. They were a full inch lower in the front than the back.

Who keeps saying that Eibachs handle so well? If you deem handling as being "floaty" on the highway, then yes they handle well. I've driven the Max with many suspension setups. I used to have coilovers and now have sprints. I believe that Sprint Springs offer the best drop, handling and ride quality available for the Max. They handle just as well as my coilovers (Cattman), and drop about as far too (compared to my settings). The only thing different is that they don't bottom out like my coilovers did. They handle the bumps very well, never lose control, and hug every turn. They do not like skinny tires as someone previously noted...Or better yet, they love sticky tires. If you have them you better have V-rated or better tires to handle well. Eibachs make you car seem more expensive. The ride is kinda like a BMW 740, only not as rigid. With the Sprints its more like an M3. If you are looking for real performance, go with Sprints. If you are looking for a more sporty/luxury type ride go with Eibachs.

I went with Eibachs because the new ones seem to be almost as low as Sprints in the front and lower in the back. I didn't want to cut a coil or anything. Plus, I heard that Sprints void the warranty on the AGX since it drops lower than 1.5"...don't want that. Plus, I wanted a great handling setup with some suspension travel so the chicks won't complain...

I can't wait to get them on now...I've been 4x4 since I got my car on my birthday last October...almost a year of 4x4!!

eibachs are rough dude.....you're still gonna have a 4x4 max now





p.s. if you have a system (subs in trunk) the car doesn't look uneven. i have a 15in. solobaric in my trunk and my car looks even.

I got all smooth roads/highways here...only thing I have to worry about is clearance problems when going up driveways and such.

4x4 still? What are you talking about? Look at his sig pic....http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/22279...VWnn9A_WfWOpdz
and Kashoggio's car with Eibachs: [http://images.cardomain.com/installs...479_6_full.jpg
Not dropped to the weeds, but a nice-looking, even, subtle drop, with springs that can handle just as good as Sprints. I can't wait!
