I've got a couple questions for you guys:
I'm getting my 350 back from the shop soon. I'm riding with some 19's right now and I was rollin on the eibach pro kit. I got in an accident so I needed to get rid of the eibach springs so I got some tanabe coilovers. I get my car back later this week and I was wondering what I should expect.

I felt like my eibachs on 19's gave me a really bumpy ride but I delt with it cus it looked soo good dropped. I'm looking to drop it 2 inches from stock when I get it back. Bad idea? Too bumpy? Is tanabe good...what's the best?

Give me some input.
Ill also throw up some pics soon. Get ready, it's a sexy car haha.

coils are a lot more bumpy than springs....i did however get the tein cs which isnt too harsh

LOL - I thought that my old Eibachs rode just like stock! If you think yours gave you a really bumpy ride, then you may not be happy with the feel of coilovers (even if the dampening is set properly). But at least you'll be able to drop it 2"!

Anybody who says that coilovers are bumpier than coilovers, has never riden in a car with coilovers. Every car I have ever owned I put coilovers, including my IS and to a T, they have all riden smoother and held the road better plus felt more solid. They make the car feel like it costs twice as much. Just do it and see what I am talking about. I had Tein CS on my IS, KWs on my S4, PSS9 on my A4s, Donahoe coilovers on my Tacomas.
THEY ALL RODE SMOOTHER. ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON"T CRANK THEM ALL THE WAY UP COMPRESSION WISE.
