#170872 Looking to lower the EG as I just got it, however the wife drives it and she does not want a bouncy ride. I know "springs" are the best ride to go and I would probably just do eibach as I have always used those on other rides, but I am wanting either sleeves or coliover set up.
Question is, will those rides be comparable to springs only or stock rate? Like I said I want soft ride. Not going crazy low either.
Any advice on best choice for 1-1.5" drop and best ride?

#170891 I have Eibach springs on OEM Struts on my Sedan, when you first get them it will be a depressing drop, However once they settle it looks good.

The Ride quality is really good, I love it, The Quality I would say is as good as Stock. Going bewteen a Stock Integra LS and my Sedan has no difference in Ride Quality. Even though it has awesome ride quality, Going through the Turns the car has much less sway then OEM springs.

My Car is on 15 Inch Rims, This is taken 3-4 months after installing the spring, With noone in the car, However when you have 2 grown me the wheels will be tucking.

If you want to have adjustable coilovers, Ebay Coils + KYB gas Struts give a decent ride, Much more flat through turns then the eibach springs, I wouldn't say its overally bumpy, You will notice bumps and crossing rail road tracks much more with this setup then the Eibach springs.

If you only want a 1-1.5" Drop and good ride quality, Eibach springs are your best bet.

#171080 yeah, I have had Eibach's in the past, once on my DA and it rode great. Just looking to see if maybe the Skunk 2 pro S (or comparable) that I saw for $650 on ebay may be a good ride or too harsh for my wife.
