I had the Eibach Springs installed on Friday of last week, and my first impressions are very favorable. I have noticed a definite improvemewnt in ride quality. The harshness you feel when hitting bumps, uneven payment, etc. seems to have been greatly reduced. The bounce we get on uneven pavement, like on freeways that have a lot of truck traffic, is still there but I think that has to do with the valving in the shocks. To me the ride height is perfect now. Not to low so I'm scraping and the large gap between the tires and fenders has been cut in half. The cost for the springs and the install was$415, it is an option if you are not sure about coilovers.

Have others with Eibach's noticed an improvement in ride quality?

Very interesting feedback hblexus07.

I am most interested in resolving the latter issue (bounce) vs. the former (harshness) so this is great feedback.

Im planning to lower my IsF also this month, Im usually a die hard Eibach fan but this time I might go with teins. I really dont like how the eibachs are barely lowering the car. .3 in the rears? What do you guys think? I see some of the picts posted here and there. with the eibachs some of them dont even look lowered.

IMO the Eibachs on the IS-F have minimal lowering due to the limited suspension travel already on the stock setup.

My Eibach 350's on my IS350 have 1.0"/0.8" drop.

My car definitely is lower, but you are right it is .3 rear and .7 front. My goal was to reduce the gap in the wheel wells, and go too low so it does not scrape. I think that with most mods it really helps to see the car in person.
