eibach springs

I have been thinking about installing the eibach springs. How do they change the ride of the car. They make the max sit very nicely, but I don't want a really tight ride. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Andy,
Can you describe the ****

Seriously though, is it bouncy, too stiff, what?

Thanks

Just wait until your struts blow. It won't be long after you put those springs in. There have been a couple other people with springs experienceing troubles. The front struts are no great hell with the OEM springs. Add some stress from aftermarket stuff and they'll have a very short lifetime.

I would figure they would have them already. They have them for every gen. Sucks getting first year production.

I put springs on in November and I have yet (knock on wood) to have any strut problems. Hopefully the struts come out before I do have problems. The ride is tight but compared to my old car (Ford F350, lifted etc...) I'm in heaven. And yes the handling is much better than stock.

Just cut the spring. If you cut the 11.5 " of the coil from the top for the front and 4.5" of the coil from the top for the rear, you'll get great handling + look!!
and you won't have problems with struts...

























Just Kidding.... sorry~
