eibach and gr2's? anyone have em?

Just wondering how the ride is with them. Im changing my shocks/struts cuz i have 60k miles of NYC driving and they are destroyed, so I figured I might as well change the springs too (is it necessary?). Anyway I've decided on the stock GR2's but I don't want stock springs, and I don't want it to be as low as the maxspeed's so eibach's lookd best to me.

Just wondering if anyone with them can comment on the ride quality, ect. ect.

I have Maxspeeds, and they're not that low. In addition, I believe the spring rate for the Maxspeeds is closer to stock than Eibachs.

Gr2's with eibachs is alot firmer than stock. A little rough but I like it and it handles 10x better than stock. Ride height is no prob, I scrape every once in a great while. Just watch out for curbs when u pull into a parking spot u will hit it.

I've got Eibach and GR-2 on mine, since Jan this year. The ride is firmer than stock, but not punishing. The car looks so much better now dropped, I can put with the ride. Oh, my wife does not complain about the ride either! Click on my homepage to see more pictures.

Can't tell any difference on the highway, and we've been on 4 hour trips with four adults and luggage. The car looks so much better now dropped, I can put with the ride. Oh, my wife does not complain about the ride either! Click on my homepage to see more pictures.
