Second Thoughts on Eibachs

i would do the koni's before the swaybars and see where it takes you. ive already gone through this senario with my G which has a similar suspension geometry.

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
