Great! Well it looks like I will keep the Eibachs off for now.

"Just putting springs in throws off the whole design of your suspension. If you get a set of coilovers there is a certain range of spring pressure and shock bound/rebound designed in it. In relation to getting springs you are no longer negotiating that principle with eibach springs. "

Great way to put it in perspective!! Thanks! Makes sense.

Now comes the task of finding the right set of coil overs that won't shake my fillings out.

Thanks Everyone for your input

Yes, if I could do it over, I would stick with the eibachs, and now that the Konis are out, probably add those in the mix, but unlike everyone else, I was very happy with them.

With the cost of the coilovers and the cost of install, corner balance and alignment, I don't think I got an additional $3000 worth of performance out of the coilovers. I know my lap times didn't significantly improve

I'm very happy with the Eibachs and sways. Ride feels nice when pushing on the twisties. Still working on tracking it but with the vert it is hard to find a track. Hoping to autocross a bit this year and ofcourse there is the Tail at ZDayZ.
