the ride is jsut fine, I'm just worried that the extra weight that is pushing down on it now will not hold out for long, so im trying to find some aftermarket shocks that are pretty stiff.

I have some tokicos with my eibach and they ride pretty stiff...slightly stiffer than kyb shocks with oem springs. And everyone knows how stiff kyb's are

I got a good deal here at CL from a member...low mileage eibach and tokico's assembled and everything for under $390. simple bolt off, bolt on.

Ride is definately stiffer, much less body roll, more confidence taking turns, more driver feedback...all that good stuff. Of course the ride comfort level goes down but not by much in my books. I guess it could be slightly lower in the front but since it's my daily driver, I'd rather not deal with rubbing issues, camber kits, bone jarring ride, etc.
