why on earth would u get rid of eibachs? they are great. If you don't want to slam the ride, whats wrong? I'd get rid of those tokicos if anything.

I hear the drop is lower and more even on the Teins, that's why I bought 'em.

Spring rates are something like 201/269 fr/rr on the Teins.

Hope you find a pair soon...!

Well I had the Eibach on stock struts for about a month and hated it... I thought it was too stiff 4 ME... I was very hesitant of what the ride would be like with a 2" drop but i was like WTH.. The ride I think is softer but the worst bumps are the ones when the road is not level.. Mostly where roads are pieced together and one side drops.. I hate that feeling... Plus there not much travel at all in the struts... So I'm not sure how long those struts will hold up on the beating they're taking... But all in all I like it...

I have eibachs on stock struts and it is pretty bouncy. I think that means that the struts are going bad. Do you think i should buy new shock or should i buy both new shock and springs. You know, one of cattman's spring shock deals

You just need new struts. I've got the GR-2's w/Eibach. No bouncing.
