They are indispensable. Don't forget the baby one for the interior.

Okay,

So I took the Z out for a little drive through wine country rolling hills with various sweepers followed by a coastal mountian range road that has some tighter stuff. So here are my driving impressions of the eibach sways. By the way my setup from install was softest setting in the front and middle setting in the rear.

1) To really test them I need a race track because I was going really quick through the corners without even stressing the Z. Double the posted corner speed limit seemed pretty easy. I did not want to push it more than that.

2) They fixed a problem that I did not even know I had. I always felt that the Z was stable and cornered really flat with minimum body roll to begin with. After taking the drive I now realize what flat is.

3) I either stumbled onto the correct setting from the beggining of my install or I will not find those front/rear bias charateristics until I hit the track because turn in was nice, direct, and the car went right where I pointed it. I had VDC ON but the traction light never came on during the corners (I can't say the same for corner exit and straights).

4) I like them!!

Sounds like you need to go faster. Unfortunately, you'll never really know what benefits your new setup gave you, if anything, since you didn't hit the track in stock form.

You must live extremely close to said "Wine Country" and certain other elements listed in your prior post!

A) I'm glad to hear how happy you are with your Stillens.
B) I'm Jelly!

Good morning everyone!

Fixed,

And yeah I live extremly close to said wine country and coastal mountian ranges. The vinyards/wineries are about 4 miles from my house and just a little further for the coastal range. San Luis Obispo were I live was ranked as the happiest town in America to live according to Opera. It is 3 hours North of Los Angeles and 3 hours South of San Fransico in an area referred to as the Central Coast.
