Well folks, thanks to ScifixB (Matt) (and major props to Rey, Roger and all the NorCal people who showed just to watch :wink: ) I am now riding on some precompressed Eibach Pro Kit Springs... had them installed on Friday and I just measured them again today, they've overall dropped to 1.5" in the front and 1" in the back. Any more in the back and it would look funny in the stance, and it in total looks really great.
I'm not going to cover up that there is a ride difference, but it becomes a matter of preference. I like firm rides, but it definitely does well to cover up the bumps. I've driver w/ several passengers all of whom couldn't tell the difference from stock. I'm a nitty gritty driver and I've noticed that it doesn't "resonate" at all on bumps, it reacts, and that's it. I happen to like that a lot, reminds me of the way my mustang handled. A little bit firmer in the turns too, I came back on 84 from highway 1 yesterday, managed to take 25 and 15 mph turns doing 40 easily, no tire screeching and no exagerated body lean.. highly recommended..
btw, NorCal guys, sorry i couldn't make it to the meet, i couldn't access the site on saturday morning and was out all day long.. I called Matt, but he must of been out busy pimpin' his newly dropped xB...
