Went from Eibachs to H&Rs
Also changed my stock shock/struts for Tokicos. The ride feels a whole lot smoother. I don't have to try to avoid every little road imperfection like i used to do. Overall, I'm satisfied except for three things:
1 - I thought these new stuts would be the remedy for a small jiggle in the front suspension; jiggle is still there.
2 - Handling/Stifness was sacrificed for the smoother, softer ride. and,
3 - Since the new springs haven't settled, my car looks much higher than before.
P.S. Props to Maximum Tuning for doing the install for $100.

Is your ride, overall, stiffer than stock with the new setup, and why did you change from the Eibachs?

P.S. Coming from eibachs, the ride feels completely stock to me now.

What are you running for struts/shocks? It doesn't say on your home page. I noticed a link to KYB, but I couldn't find on your page where it states you have a specific KYB product.
Thanks

i see a slight improvement. but compared to eibachs the H&Rs will always look really high. i didnt do the finger test for stock but now i have about 2.5 fingers in back and 3 fingers in front.

That was the reason why I left stock shocks on. Didn't feel like spending money on the shocks that don't really improve ride or stability of the car.

My car has H&R Springs and my front is a lot higher then the rear. Did you guys remove the rubber bushing in front where the spring sits on the top plate? I am thinking about cutting my front 2 Springs. Wish my front was even with the back 
Anyone has any Ideas?? what about Spring Clamps to compress the springs a bit
