Second Thoughts on Eibachs

dAvenue

I have the Eibach's installed and I regret going with a spring-only setup (camber arms included). The car doesn't feel like it's on rails anymore as it tends to sway (rock the cabin) when the suspension attempts to negotiate bumps; this is especially true with bumps that are staggered along the road. I now prefer to have a configuration that facilitates tuning and have the overall hardware installed that is designed for the aggressive stance.

I'm still researching and learning more about the swaying sensation. It could be the alignment that causes this to happen while the springs turn out to be fine. I just don't have anything conclusive yet. There is also just so much to learn about suspension that I can get intimidated by it all.

Regardless of the culprit being the springs or alignment, I will upgrade to coilovers in the future. I would advise that you do the same, but skip the springs and aim straight for the coilovers. Springs are better suited for temporary ownership situations whereas coilovers allow for a true enthusiast experience.
