Default Eibach Springs & Spacers - Review+Pics

Ok, here are the pics after I installed the Eibach Progressive springs and 15mm Ichiba spacers (rear only)

I think Eibach did a great job on the spring rates. The ride quality (comfort wise) is very similar to stock. I'd almost go as far as saying that it's actually a bit smoother on the small washboard stuff. The larger impacts are felt a little more, but it is not harsh at all. Handling has improved, it definitely feels more connected in the corners now. I'm sure the 15mm spacers contributed, but I installed the springs and the rear spacers at the same time, so I cant say how much of a difference the spacers made by themselves. I've travelled about 100 miles on these, many different roads, including the 91 Fwy (which is very choppy) and the car feels great. Took it to triple digits, with no vibration or harshness. The drop is subtle, about 1" front & Rear, there still is 3 fingers worth of clearance under the wind deflectors (ones in front of the wheels) so far srapping has not been an issue, but I always make it my intention to hit steep driveways at an angle.
Good job Eibach I think my next suspension upgrade may be sway bars, but I'm pretty happy with the ride quality so for, so I don't want to make it harsh. This is a very good street set-up, I'm sure it would help on the track, but I think if you were wanting to track the car, you would want something a bit stiffer. I had the springs and the spacers installed at Amplified Motorsports, hit Lou up, he will PM you a nice price.

Rep points please
