Lowering SR?
Hi Guys. Just got my 2017 Midnight edition! Thinking about lowering it with Eibach springs. Getting mixed reviews on ride quality. I'm sure someone here did it. Please share ride quality experience

The ride is same as stock of course just lower. Ive been riding lowered for about a year and half in the Max. The only thing I dislike about the springs is when they start settling the rear is lower than the front. It just doesn't look even. I will be switching to coilovers here soon to get the look and stance I want. But yes overall great springs with stock feel! Hope this helps!

If you're using the correct springs, the rear is a tiny bit higher than the rear. Dead even on a full tank. The ride quality is impressive, just as good as stock SR suspension, a bit worse on big bumps, but 95% of the time the ride is just as stock

with eibs on my sr, the rear, empty trunk and no backseat drivers, it squats nicely.
imo, better handling on high speeds and/or cornering.
in the future, i am thinking about adjustable rear upper arms and rolling the fenders to make them straight and close to true.
plus, the tires wear not bad across on the rears.
camber bolt kit is a must for the fronts.
looks hot though!

What camber bolt kit are you using? I have one off wheel in the front and one in the rear. I took it to an aftermarket alignement shop and they were talking about drilling holes which didnt sound right to me. If you can, please provide the product #.
