I have had mine on for four days and i used eibach springs and got some oem struts and i am pleased with the ride. I hve only bottomed out once and it was a bad spot it the road

The ride is alot firmer and i tend to notice more bumps but it looks great and hugges corners alot better

Same here, only had them on for four days. But I can say the car feels much more stable, takes the turns a lot better, less body real and the center of gravity is lower. I got H&R's and didn't replace my stock struts with 43,000 on them. The ride is a little harsher, but not much, no bottoming out and no bouncing or anything. Really smooth through 100+. Actually, it feels like I think the car should come stock, but hey, gotta please the older luxery minded buyers too I guess. No complaints here, I'm thinking of selling my stock springs, but I doubt anyone actually wants GXE springs.

I have had my In-Trax on with my stock struts/shocks on for 2k miles now. THe ride is damn harsh and i hate that. I need new struts/shocks..... maybe the adj Koni's. I have not bottomed out yet, thank god. I only did this b/c i was tired of seeing my springs sitting in my trunk so i went ahead and did the install.

Since I first put on the Eibachs with stock shocks the ride felt great. A month later the ride felt spooky as you can feel every rebound in the back and a jiggly feeling that the springs are the only thing holding you up because the shocks quit.
I should have bought Konis with my Eibachs at the same time.

i have stock shocks/struts on ground controls for about a year now and the ride is a little bouncy. I am waiting for the new kyb's to come out then i will replace them.
