What specifically do you not like about the Eibach springs?

dont expect any additional comfort lol... but for free, sure take em! if you dont want them ill pm you my address and pay for the shipping!! lol you car should technically handle better, but imean i dont think your going to notice a difference unless your checking times at an autocross event or something, and springs alone will.. probably not really make your any faster. if your going to do it, do it for the looks.

I bought the S with HKS springs and Koni Yellow. Compared to the previous coilovers and lowering springs setups the HKS/Koni is not that bad at all. I have not got a chance to track this car yet so I can't tell you how these perform in that environment.

The ride is surprisingly not that bad at all for 100K miles Koni yellows on the street and I do have some terrible potholes around my area.
