I finished up my install late last night, and I'm in the process of getting it aligned .. on the way to the shop, I decided to see exactly what it was capable of, and went around acouple of corners.

The car stayed COMPLETELY flat. Much more feel of the road, very little bounce -- to a point. I went around a corner at 120km/h, which was rated 60km/h .. This normally isn't a problem, although it would be considered pushing it hard under my previous setup. I found out that the corner wasn't rated that high because of the turn (I think -- either that or my handling improved so much that I didn't even notice heh), but because of a large bump. Needless to say, stock struts aren't enough to handle superhuge bumps with the Eibachs. However, the bump was so extreme I wondered if an aftermarket strut would have been able to make much of a difference..

Other than that, little harsh, perfect handling, no bounceyness (cept over speedbump sized lumps going 70mph).. Pics later tonight

 

My wife is starting to complain about my Max being too low with Eibachs. So far that happens intermittenly and I just let it slide....

Btw my stock shocks didn't last beyond a month...
I was driving downhill on a mountain hwy curve and the Max's rear end started to reverberate. It felt so floaty and scary that it freaked out myself and my passengers. It felt like the shocks just quit and the car was only supported by the springs. That forced me to buy new shocks. I've got Koni Yellows now.

 

Ereet, welcome to Eibach-Land. Consider KYB AGXs.

BlackCat, you must drive pretty hard, my stock shocks lasted me from 13K miles to about 68K miles when I changed to AGXs. I did have some float, but controllable. Tires gave me a "forgiveable" Margin of error.

 

No...not really. Mind you I was coming back on a road trip from an out of town dragonboat racing meet and my trunk was full of golf clubs, bags, etc. Now that I think about it, with all of that weight in the back plus 3 people I guess the shocks couldn't handle it.

 

I was told by a guy with about 50k miles that he put them on at around 20k and had no problem with the stockers .. Mine were replaced within the last 20k so I figure I should be good for a while.

I had the EXACT opposite problem with the women. The two I showed it to were like "wtf you paid $400(canadian) for those? I can't even tell you lowered it".
