I think search is still working To save a bit of time, some say they are a bit stiff, I think they are fine by far the stiffest ive felt are Teins which I have on mine. The Eibachs dont drop the front enough. By far the softest are either H&R or Maxspeeds.

i live in queens, ny -- i have my eibach pro kit sitting underneath my bed waiting to be installed. you get eibachs for handling performance, not looks and drop. if you want that (looks and drop) then you get teins. eibachs drop a little more than H&R's too.

Have them(Eibach's) on my Max, IMO their to stiff. I would go for the H&R springs for a better ride.

The way the Eibacs sit in the rear are perfect, the front however need to be lower. Check out Asu174's ride, hes got Eibachs but I chopped a coil off the front and no problems and well, look at it.

i really liked the eibach equipped rides of toylet and rba(who switched to GC's), but whenever i rode with them, they were generally driving through nice areas. for jamaica H&R would be a better choice

i'm going to be running my eibachs with my stock struts. how long do you think i can use my stock struts before i would need to get aftermarket struts. i'll probably go with kyb-gr2's.

Eibachs are the $hit as far as performance goes. They reduce body roll almost completely. I had them on for about 13K and switched over to H&Rs b/c they were too stiff. The H&Rs are much softer which is what I wanted, but they are no comparison to the eibach's performance.
