Very nice Cam. The car looks great with that drop. As another poster said, it will settle a little more in the next several weeks. Good to hear the ride is about the same. My experience with Eibach springs have been different on 993s and BMWs. They felt much stiffer and more harsh than H&Rs.

P-daddy,

Were the Eibach springs you put on the 993 and BMWs progressive or linear compression springs?

I've always loved your 993 C4S and actually modeled my prior 993 C4S after yours...

If I remember correctly, they were the Pro-Kit progressive springs.

Thoughts:

- car looks great!
- love those wheels!
- what's up with the Christmas lights still on the house (and the neighbor's too?)

Look'n Good Cam, It's all about finding that perfect balance of ride height and ride quality.

Cam,
Did you look into the TechArt springs made by Eibach? My local shop recommends the TechArt springs, trying to figure out the difference.
Thanks

Default I went with Eibachs too

In these pics the before photo looks like my car is so high off the ground its made for offroading!

I find the Eibach springs to be pretty stiff. So much so that I'm hesitant to go to Bilstein HDs when its time to replace the shocks since I don't want to make my car any stiffer. However when I'm out in the canyons driving hard the car feels wonderful.
