I would try setting the fronts to "2" and the rear to "4", and see how that feels, with Eibach springs, since they are quite stiff, you will have a bouncy ride if the struts are set too soft.

really depends on how sensitive your a$$ is..since you went with the Eibachs im guessing you were looking for a stiffer ride. I have mine set on 4/8 cause I enjoy being able to carve corners a little better but the roads around me are 90% smooth. On the other hand, Maxine and i probably couldnt stand even a few potholes too long before we both rattled apart.

Mine right now are set on 2/5. They are going to get changed when I put the new rims on. I had a thread about this a while ago, 2 or 3 weeks ago, and got a lot of good responses. I will see if I can dig it up for you.

I know this is a little of the subject, but do anyone have Progress Springs?


Are they a quality lowering spring?

I installed a set of Progress springs in a members Max last Saturday. Nice drop, looks like a nice spring, funky blue color and little on the harsh side.
