I installed an Eibach Pro Spring Kit and Stillen RSB to my Max Y2K, the looks are great the cornering's good but when I hit a bumpy road it's worth than a Wild Bronco, is this normal or what? I cut-saw the shocks bump stops just in case.

Eibach's are known for their harsh ride and its normal. The suspension will need maybe a month or so to settle in and soften a bit but dont expect all the bumps to go away! I have the H&R/Tokico in my 96' and its closer to factory than any other spring i have driven on....

Eibach & Tokico Shocks

I have my Eibach and Tokico shocks installed this weekend, I enjoy my ride. I think it's soo much better than stock SE shocks and spings.

hmmmm really...your car is AMAZING. I see how your car sits now, but how much lower can the teins drop...inches approximately?...because if i get them i would probably ride with them VERY low.

PS...i think i may have asked you that before, but is there a ay you could look for me..

Thanks rob van dam, I'm glad you like it!

This IS an old *** thread....but since we're here.....

My car doesn't get back from Daytona until the 9th. I will look then. I'm pretty sure it will drop another 3/4 to 1" in back and maybe a little more in front. But then it will ride like $#^&!
