    I love the ride. A little firmer then stock setup. But more compliant over bumps. Didn't like the float of HR oe springs. The eibach springs sit about the same as the oe A little higher in front a little lower in back. Just got it done and only put about 25 miles on it But very happy so far.

    bought a set of b16 and didn't knew about the b12 kit.. now that i read about it.. I'M thinking i should've just got the b12 as I don't need all the adjustement offered on the b16 lol. i trust bilstein that the b12 is set right right out of the box :)

    Looks perfect. Rarely does anyone adjust them after the initial install anyway. I had coilovers several times over the years; likely never will again.

    Give them a few weeks to settle Jimmy, it will come down a few more mills yet. They usually sit with a nose down rake on these Eibachs.

    Told you you'd love the Eibachs springs, great ride aren't they, just firm enough without feeling too harsh and not bouncy at all.

    Yes. No bounce. I kinda hope they don't settle much more. Car is firm and rides great.

    Well mine has a slight nose down rake, it took a few weeks to reach its final height but remember my car only moves when I want to go out and have some fun now I'm using a rental.
    I wouldn't worry, it won't be lower than the H&R's.

    Glad you like them.
