True. For some reason I looked at the price he listed and was thinking springs only.

Do you Auto-X only? Road course? Maybe I should put it this way - is there anyone who would actually consider Eibachs to be even REMOTELY comparable, performance wise, to a quality coil over setup? After doing my suspension once already (in my Camaro), I will never again do it again without making sure I invest in a quality setup first. Not that I didn't go with one that time (I used Bilstein re-valves and some custom rate springs), but I know enough that for the effort and time it took to do it, you may as well do it right the first time.

Road course, exclusively. I was very happy with my eibach/cusco sways on the 350 with tokico shocks.. Bilstein shocks on the corvettes z51 suspension and should be happy with my eibach springs and sways on the 370. I've never had coilovers on any car
