Spring help needed Hotchkis and Eibach

I got hotchkis springs dont like the ride at all. Does any know if eibach's ride smoother. With the hotchkis everytime i hit a bump it rattles my teeth. Not litterally but im afraid im gonna tear up my car with the ****ty roads around here. I put poly a-arm bushing in the front dunno if that will make a diff.

The Eibach Pro-Kit springs ride smoother than the stock springs, considering they're over 10 years old at least. I can't say I've ever been in a car with the Sportlines. But I think another question is, what struts/shocks do you have installed? They affect ride comfort as much as, if not more than, the springs.

i have kyb's i asked the hotchkis guy if billsteins would make a diff in the ride he said no might handle a lil better tho.Plus on hotchkis website they say u should have the bilsteins with them and thats a stiff shock. Then on Eibach they say stock shocks r fine so maybe the eibach r a lil lighter spring which is what i want.

Eibach Pro-Kits ride very smooth with stock (or similar replacement) struts and shocks. I think you'll be much happier with getting softer shocks and struts and stay with the Hotchkis springs, just to save money. You can always get the Pro-Kits if you don't like that setup, since you'll need the shocks & struts anyway.
