Eibach sportlines..... cutting off bounce stops, alignment, and overall ride ?'s

I'm putting Eibach sportlines on my car along with a PST polygraphite frontend kit, LS1 brakes at all 4 corners, Lakewood LCA's and APHR, SSM SFC's, and other stuff. Right now I'm just driving it on the stock frontend and the rearend already has KYB's and the sportlines under it. I noticed that my rear bump stops were hitting, so I cut about 3/4" off of them. Seems to be better but man this thing rides rough on hard bumps. Everyone else experience the same thing? How bad is the ride with sportlines? I'm wondering how bad its gonna be after I get my frontend done. Also, do our car's frontends still align ok with this much of a drop? Do you guys have to cutoff the front a-arm bump stop some or what??

Thanks for the help!

You might need to try some better shocks like some bilsteins.

I second shocks. I have the sportlines and I do not touch the bump stops. The ride is a tad rough but bareable. You are going to have this with any suspension upgrade. You cannot have both. A good set of shocks can make the world of difference though.

Yeah I figured better shocks after I ordered the cheapie base of the line KYB rear shocks. Where can I get some Bilsteins or something at a decent price??


*Also, what about the alignment? Will it align ok with the sportlines or what?

Thanks!

I heard shox.com is the best place they seem the best priced at least. Take it to tire discounters or somethin for an alignment cause it wont align on its own. Cost me like 50 dollars.
