Eibach springs installed!!

Hey all I just got my Eibach springs installed by Rob and crew at ZCarGarage.
First, I am so impressed with the ride quality on the street/freeway. I had a hard time beleiving the springs were installed on the way up to the fun drags at Infineon. It was that smooth. I haven't tried driving hard through turns but I will find out tomorrow at Thunderhill Raceway. The drop is there, but not obvious and I'm happy! Can't wait to put the Volks on.

Stock shocks.
Freeway ride and street ride is amazingly close to stock. Firm on sharp bumps and I can't wait to test them on the track tomorrow, err this morning!

Are you camber in speck and how far were they off from the old settings? I'm interested in Eibacks or Tiens for the spring.

I had the Eibach/stock shock setup a few months ago. Rides very much like stock but you will notice that at higher speeds on the freeway, the car will feel floaty especially around turns or bends.

Decided to go with a true coilover setup. No more floaty feeling.

I think those might be the Eiback Sport springs because I have the Sportline package and mine looked just a little lower than that when I lowered it. Looks good

I have the Eibach Pro Kit 1 Inch drop all around. The ride is actually smoother then stock. The stock setup was nice but def stiff. I havent noticed the "Floaty Feely". I have noticed however the car handles a lot better.

I put the sportline springs in on mine, and I didn't notice a great difference in how the car handles. I want to get sways and coilovers, and see how that feels next.
