When I first put on my Eibach Springs about a week ago, my car didn't sound that harsh at all. A week has gone by and now every little bump sounds loud!!! I'm guessing that my springs have set in, but could it be because I still have the stock shocks in? Do I need to get tokicos? Will that help out in some way? I have 23,000 on my orginal shocks. Thanks for the advice.

I ran on my stock struts for a very long time... changed to Tokico's in December. When I put on the Toks, they seem to have made the ride quality better. You can get the Tokico's, or wait until I try the Koni project.

Koni project: I will hack my strut housing and put 4th gen Koni inserts... This project should start in 2 weeks because this week is torque-converter-for-a-4th-gen week.

Thanks Y2KevSE and kafene. Looks like I have to save up for some tokicos, because it feels like my shocks aren't going to make it. Thanks Guys...
