Eibach's and Stillen Front Lip installed

I just wanted to let you guys know that the car rides great with the eibach springs.. The drop looks perfect in my opinion. I was worried about dropping the car without any aftermarket struts available but call me crazy but the car actually soaks up the bumps better then it was stock. I will have pictures by the weekend because the car doesnt look too apealing right now (been raining all week) Also for anyone in the northeast, if you need some work done see Proline Body & Chassis
Tom - 201-398-1512 They do amazing work, very clean. Fairly priced.

Oh and the kit looks good too, much better in person then the pictures stillen put out.

I'll take you're word on the ride cause I know you encounter sh*tty roads. I'm gonna try this weekend to install my eibachs, but probably not. I'm thinking for now the stock struts should feel good with the drop since they are practically new, but long term (20,000 miles) or more most likely will ruin the struts and I don't think by the time i get there, they'll have an aftermarktet strut. How's the handling?

The handleing felt very different from stock.. I thought the stock handleing was scary at times. I only had the spring on for a day so I have not gone crazy. I think the stock shocks will hold up for quite a bit longer than 20,000 but I could be wrong. Aftermarket shocks have to come out soon. I am like you worried about the shcks but sometimes you play with what you are dealt with. Car definitely feels good on the bumps and yes I do have some sh1tty roads around me. Good luck.

Ive had my eibachs on for 10,000 miles. The ride is harsher than it was but I still think the shocks got some more life in em and the ride isnt bad. I wanna see pics of that stillen front end. I had recently had my front repainted and it looked good but they told me to keep bugs off or it will eat through the fresh clear coat. I cleaned as much as possible. Im constantly driving and dont have much spare time but the clear has gone to crap. Only solution I can think of is get the still front and have em paint it and hold it till the paint cures. Anyways I wanna see pics!!

I've had my Eibachs for about 5000 miles and now that everythig has settled, it handles and rides good. Do you guys really think the stock struts can hold out for 20,000 miles???
