can you comment on the ride with more detail , as was mentioned before , stock seems to have a nice high speed damping, but very poor low speed compression with an unusually choppy ride, I would like to keep the performance but a little less chop with street driving would be nice, also 1 inch drop is not to hard to swallow. it is nice not to worry about scraping every where i go.

With The tanabe's the chop is not that bad, better than stock on most roads. I do have a section of freeway on hwy 99 here thats bad . Concrete exspantion joints suck with any shock/spring combo other than super soft. As far as the drop, I do scrape the undertray splitter. If you need a softer ride go with the Eibach Pro-kit. Drop is just over 1 inch and is a progressive spring. Should still be a better match for the stock struts and shocks on the street.

After getting my springs on my front camber is at 1.6 per side.
I don't know if I want that much because of tire wear issues and I do not autocross the car. Does anyone know if the Cusco Plates work with the stock struts and are there any opinion on the how much camber one could get away with with out having excess tire wear on the inside.

Thanks for the info..... great post & sticky. My shocks are almost dead... with oil leaks from both sides.... I was thinking of getting some used shocks from someone that went to coilovers and fitting The Eibachs. This is my daily driver and given where i live i need a decent ride......

Can anyone who is actually running the Eibachs comment on the ride? I assume it would be softer around town/daily driving, but how about the performance on the track. I am autoXing and doing track days now and would not not want to do anything that would not help to actually improve the cornering. Also, do you have to adjust the camber much after the install? I assume you need to have a realignment done at a shop too?
I'm also interested in the same info regarding the Tein High Tech and S Tech.
TIA,
Jason
