I just removed my Eibach Pros and stock dampers. They were nice as they had a sporty feel and were not harsh at all.
Mine now has Bilstein HD's and RS springs... much more stiff but not bone jarring... LOVE THEM! (oh... and it is LOW too)

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

Before I do anything else... anyone moving up to JIC or Motons that want to get rid of what they have?

And to see if I got this right... the recommendation is to go with:
Bilstein shocks (hd's) - US$679.00 and H&R springs - US$324.00

Correct?

Wachuko

Or, since my car is at the ride height that I like, am I better off just ordering the Bilstein shocks (hd's) and use the current springs I have??

ilko

You can adjust ride height with the shocks since they are threaded. But to save money you could go with the stock springs and see how you like it. If you decide to switch springs later it will only cost you an extra alignment (and your time).

Wachuko

Thank you.

One last question on this... promise...



This looks like the new style... correct?

Wachuko

OK, found the answer to the question of the type of rear shocks - Early Suspension? . Seems I have the new style...

Last chance (placing order today...)

008. Koni sport shocks and H&R spring package

or

022. Bilstein shocks (hd's) and 040. H&R springs

??

Wachuko

Blistein (HD's) and H&R Sport springs... done... should be here September 3rd.

ilko

From Shox.com? Just curious, were the Konis they have for sale inserts in the front or complete shocks?

Wachuko

Got it from TireRack. With shipping they came out a few $$ lower than Shox.com and I have had great customer service from them...

ohh... complete units for the front...

i started out with the H&R greens and bilsteins and ended up changing out the front springs to 180 lb/inch hyperco springs in front. also increased the rebound damping about 20%. my front end isn't nearly so bouncy now. i later found that these rates are very close to the 030 996 suspension as published in excellence. for some reason both H&R and eibach use spring rates that are unbalanced where the front is too stiff compared to the rear IMO.
