Post Eibach Sportlines (1.5" drop around) REVIEW

Well, let me first say that the drop looks SEX! Its perfect...its even and puts the wheels just under the fender. I have to say out of all the drops I have had in my life (with springs) this would have to be the most impressive looking. I dont think it could have been more perfect, even with coilovers.

However, the ride is not as good. I noticed before hand that the car was bumpy, we have a stiff OEM suspension. Not to mention the fact the rear suspension is european-style with the spring and struts separate and not 'inside' each other. That, mixed with REAL double wishbone suspension for the front was a tad stiff. With these springs, though, its MUCH worse (if you want to call it worse, i'm sure some would like it) and its almost at the point where I want it switched out. I am going to wait for a month or so and see if I am able to get use to it, but I really am unaware of what the outcome will be.

All in all, for looks, its a 9-10, for ride, its 5-6.....

EDIT: Pics with the Volks on at the top of page 4






Anyone else have these? What is your take? I am riding on stock shocks and struts....eventually, when Koni does their thing, I will get those....but I dont expect a huge difference. I hear that the tire pressure may be too high...I suppose I will check it, even though the dealership filled mine with NITROGEN...lol
