All I can say is wow, what a differance. The car is a lot less harsh now over big bumps and still handles very well. I would like to thank every one on the board for their help on this decision. I am selling my 2003 SE springs and shocks if anyone is interested. Also I was wondering if the gap in the front will get smaller. Seems a little on the 4x4 side.

I say its ur stock struts couldnt handle the eibach. congrats on the install! good that u like it! HR has higher drop rate than that of the eibach. it will look a bit lowered after a week or so, after everything settles in.

H&Rs have a lower rate but in reality i dont think they do lower the car more then eibachs. right now i have H&Rs with stock struts but i want to be lower.

bwalsh, as far as height goes...does the car look lower with H&Rs or eibachs?

Car looked lower on Eibachs. I am now thinking of going back to the Eibacks because the H&R are a little soft compared to when I had the Eibachs on. Not sure if that will change once the care finishes dropping....
