Default Need Advice on Eibach Springs

To the delight of many naggers I've met in the past 3 years of owning the S, I may put on my first mod.

As seen in this thread, I was finally contacted by Eibach to redeem my prize of free springs from them. I'm not sure what kit they offer, but in the best case scenario, I can get springs with custom rates. I kind of want to put them on my car because I 'won' them and want to enjoy the prize, rather than turning it around and selling it right away.

So with that said, does anyone have any advice to give on what springs to get, what rates to specify (if possible), or whether I should just sell them and maybe get swift springs or any other ones? I understand that these will probably not improve the handling dramatically, if at all, but I wanted to make sure that I'd get something that wouldn't screw it up.

The outlook for coilovers this year isn't looking too good considering I've been spending a ton of money on vacations (still in NYC btw).

Handling improvements, not likely, but definitely looks better. Stock height FTL!

Here's my 2 cent.


Since your car is pretty much stock. I would sell the spring and put in account and safe for some coilover.

Vacation is always better then modding imo
