(Eibach && Bilstein) || (Eibach && Koni)

Here is what I have done.

I have gone ahead and purchased these items from Mark:

Eibach Pro springs
Koni Adjustable shocks
Dali street/race sway bars.

I will let you all know the results of this setup after I have installed them. Other than this, my car is entirely stock.

I will post detailed pictures too.

So you anticipate that this setup will lower the car by only about 1 inch? Not the 1 1/2" that other springs will provide.

LUD, yes I was aware of that, I was planning on using my stock springs. However, if I switched to the above setup How much do you think the Eibach Pro springs will effect my ride quality compared to stock, considering I have the Koni's on their softest setting?

Hmmmphh. Anybody want to hear about a position reversal? Turns out I have a leaking front left shock, as of yesterday, and can't wait until late May for the Bilsteins so it's either stock (ahhh no, dealer wanted to charge me $660 for one shock!) or go with the Koni's. Ahhhh, the Koni's! I'll have to wear a football mouthpiece! Just kidding.

I don't want to wait b/c there's a Porsche Driver's Club Event two weeks from now that I really want to make. Plus I'll be missing two track events and that very certainly will not do.

Kenji, looks like we have the same exact setup so hopefully it works out well for us. Mark says that the sways should be shipped out next week.

If anybody is interested I'll post my thoughts (objective thoughts!

) about the too stiff Koni's (I'm kidding!!!

)when I get them installed.

Here's to the Koni's!!!!!

Yeah, thats what I'm expecting.
I've already seen some cars with the Eibachs and they are low enough for me I think. I really like the look of it really low, but I don't want to bottom out going into driveways etc either. I think they lower the car by 1.25" (supposedly) I've ridden a car with stock shocks and Eibach springs and they felt almost the same as stock, I realy couldn't tell the difference. I went ahead and got shocks too, because I don't want to take apart the suspension twice... in case I really want the shocks in the future.
