Jimmy, that's the suspension I run and it's great...VERY soft (almost too soft for my tastes) and still looks very nice and classy (do a search for my screename and "indypwr" and you'll see pics of my car with the Eibach pro-kit suspension). Not too low and definitely not bouncy or stiff. I'll be switching to coilvers soon but for now this set-up is cheap and rides like a dream.

On another note...man you're gonna have a tough time modding that thing if you're constantly worried about what your gf will approve or disapprove.

Next time she makes a new purchase walk up to her and say, "Ya know honey, the SC doesn't approve of you buying that" (the key is to say it with a straight face) and see what she says! ha ha!

I used to have Eibach springs (1" all around), but it wasn't enough of a drop for me. With that setup, the ride was pretty much just as smooth as stock suspension... and it had NO problems with alignment.

I now have KYB Struts (for a TT supra), and Eibach Springs (for a TT supra). Now, I'm lowered 1.8" up front, and 1.5" in the rear.



^^. That's how my car sits now. I have 18x8.5" rims all around, 245-40-18 up front, and 275-35-18 in the rear.
