Decent ride. Firm, minimal body roll. Been on that set up for almost a year now.

Do you know if they will ride better than maxspeeds? I currently have them and they are a little to rough riding for my taste.
thanks

On my first Maxima, I had Eibach Pro Kits with Tokico HPs for the first 60K miles and then KYB AGXs for a while after that. The Eibachs are very stiff. They are great for 10/10ths driving, but for a daily driver, with bumps and potholes, they are not good. I have H&Rs on my new Maxima and I would not use Eibachs again on a Maxima. The ride was way too harsh.

Everyone is going to give mixed answers on each suspension setup since they have different tastes.

Personally I love my Eibachs...especially when compared to the pillow cushion 'floating' feeling of the stock springs/struts. I have ridden on cars with Maxspeeds and Sprints. Maxspeeds were too 'cushy' for me and Sprints were harsh. Eibachs are perfect for me...but Dallas doesn't have potholes like the Northeast does.

I have the eibach, GR-2 setup and the ride is crap....the GR-2 brand new can handle the stiffness of the eibach....but as they get some miles on them and start to age...they start to underdamp a little and the setup gets a little bit bouncy....just my 2 cents...I have about 33K on my GR-2's and eibach's by the way....

I love my setup, the bounce isnt bad, but i have AGX struts so....

only complaint is my alignment never stays good for too long.... but i have a lifetime alignment so it doesnt matter.....

Do any of you think this is because of my bearing plates gone bad?
