Switch from Sprints to Eibachs was a good idea

My car rides like a Caddy in comparison now. With the Sprints and Toks, it would bottom out and crash and jiggle over every single bump. Now, with Eibachs and Toks, it just absorbs the bumps with no drama. The handling is just as good, but now I have twice the wheel travel.

The only downside is that my car doesnt look lowered anymore. At least not to me. When I park next to my neighbor's stock 95GXE it looks pretty good though...

I'll measure the Eibach ride height to compare to Sprints later in the week when I fill up with gas.

Hopefully I will be able to compare my ebiachs/agx's to your setup soon

Not yet, perhaps this weekend. But, when i measure them, you'll get an idea.

To put it in perspective...we all know that at stock height, the Max looks like it has been raised compared to most other cars. Well, with the Eibachs and stock steelies, my car looks normal now.

But the ride is perfect, instead of being bouncy and rough, or wallowy and soft, it is very tight and controlled. Perfect.

Thanks for the comparison. I'm running Koni/Eibach now and they're already a bit stiff/taut. No way I'd ever go HARSHER...
