Eibachs at about 55mph in a turn I did them for looks. If they didnt perform as good as stock, I would remove them.

I've gone from stock spring, to skunk2 on konis, to eibach, to tein stech, to fully adjustable coils and now back to skunk2.

I was most satisfied with the skunk2 because of a great drop and it still handles great, feels like stock!

I'm running pss9 coil overs and it feels like an upgraded version of a stock ride ... handles better and you can drop your car a bit also... for the $1200 i paid , it was worth every penny ... smooth ride and easy to adjust..

A great option is getting the eibach pro kit springs and using the Koni yellows on the lower perch. Gives it a much nicer drop and drives awesome. Can also adjust the rebound which is nice! Better setup than 99% of the cheap china Coilovers most people seem to get these days for their S.

Yes but he doesn't come on here much. My MY00 ran swift and when I auto-x'd with an instructor, he said "damn man.. you got a perfect setup.. what are you running"

It was no surprise that the guy I sold my car to was an autox guy and loved the drive home. I pretty sure he still has the setup. I loved that setup for the money and my only complaint was it was rough for my daily commute and some metro roads.

Henry - who was it? We're they the spec r or sport Mach springs? I'm searching now for a set for myself (spec r)!
