MaxSpeed cause Eibachs dont go down far enough in the front, makes the front look higher than the rear in wheel gap.

If you want a stiffer/sportier ride w/less drop, go Eibach Pro-Kit.
If you want slightly more stock w/more drop, go Maxspeed. Apparently they're more similar to H&R's, but for 1/2 the price.

killer2002se : if u r asking ride quality....then u will have to experience each spring urself. because everyone has different tolerance and maybe I think eibach does not give me a harsh ride at all but on the other hand....some one will say that the eibach is breaking their back.


I would ask other .org members who live near u and see they will give u a ride.


eibach gets my vote for its R&D and reputation. The ride quality is acceptable for me with koni shock inserts.

My opinion perry is that your car still sits to high. It looks good but it isnt "dropped". Maxspeeds look the best in my book. I dont know about their reliability.

Yes, you'll have to test it yourself to see how's the ride quality. Thanks to [maxi-overdose] for giving me a ride in his car. I feel that the Eibach and KONI combo is firm but not harsh. On the softest setting it's actually more comfortable than the stock suspension when I hit the reflector on the freeway.
