I'm going to be running Eibachs and Illuminas very shortly, as soon as the Illuminas arrive.

Can I use the same 2F/3R setting, or does it vary with each spring/strut combination?

I have mine set at 3/3. To say the least with a 235/35/19 the ride is really bad. I miss the days of a smooth ride but I guess its the price you pay for looks.

I am running Eibach Pro-kit with Illuminas. My settings are either 4F/5R or 5F/5R. On smooth roads, these setting feels fine. But with minor road imperfections, you'll definately feel them.

I'm in NY, and the roads around my area really suck. I had originally wanted to get myself some Tein S-Techs, but have decided to stick it out with the Eibachs because I don't feel like having my car bottom out everytime I hit a bump. I know that Eibachs are stiff springs, but at least I will not be sitting on the floor! Now I just have to wait to purchase my Illuminas from the Group Deal for $425 shipped

I run H-techs with Illuminas set at 3F/4R. H-techs are softer springs and if you set it to 5 all the way around, it's still not too bad.
