Eibach is the only logical choice here.

Tein S-techs work great for me. 1" drop front and rear and ride a little stiffer than stock with a great handling improvement.

depends if you get the supesport or race springs. supersport drops 15 mm while the race drops 35 mm. springs rates for the race springs are 8.9F/9.8R, which is pretty stiff but these springs implement dual rate technology. when you're cruising, the ride is smooth...but the springs get progressively stiffer as you start making turns.


i'm running the race springs with koni yellow shocks .new shocks are necessary, your stocks will handle fine for a bit but will noticably get worse as time goes by. my shocks are set right between full stiff and full firm, the ride is absolutely incredible.

Will the stock shocks hold up better with the supersport springs? I do not want to go to low anyway. Thanks

Tein s-tech is another option for me since ebiach and the s-tech are both 1 inch drop and thats all I want. My consern is that tein my be a bit too stiff which I know the eibach will be pretty much the same as stock - anyone know how the eibach feels?

they'll eventually wear out...either do it right the first time or don't do it at all. you will definately end up getting new shocks down the road, why not save time and $$$ and have it all installed at once.
