Car too low Ride to Hard
I need some honest opinions on springs. I installed some Suspension Technic lower springs (last year). I like the look but I can't stand the ride. The car rides too low and I feel every bump. There is bearly any travel left for the springs and shocks to do there job. I can't even play a CD thats mounted in the back because every bump I hit the CD skips. I thinking about puting my original springs back on.
Or I've heard that the Eibach Pro are a good comprimise between ride and looks. Need some honest feedback on this. Those of you who have these springs, are they as good as they claim? How much do they really lower your car? How is the ride , hard , medium, or just right?
By the way the shocks are new KYBs, I have SFCs installed and thicker swaybars.
I know that lowering the car you sacrafice ride comfort and I can live with that, BUT it can't be this bad....

It all depends on what you want and what you are looking for. All lowering springs will sacrifice ride quality b/c they have a higher spring rate than the stock taller springs.
I put the Eibach prokit on last year, and I love the way my car sits and rides. Its not too much, but on days when I am in a funk, the ride can get annoying.
If you don't like the ride get new springs, but be prepared for the car to raise back up to find the ride quality you like.
I guess its all personal preference...
