Dealer will hassle you if you go to them with blown struts or any other type of suspension problem.....

Prepare for a stiff bumpy ride.

I recommend going with another brand b/c eibachs don't really make your car any lower compared to other companies like Sprint, Progress, B&G etc... Plus the wheelgaps will get to you later on.

Most people who have eibachs here on the Org seem to have dropped much more than the spec'd 1.3 and 1.0 inches. All of the Max's I've seen with them look great.

Without a doubt replace the shocks WITH the springs. You must do both!
