Default Ride quality of Eibach Pro Springs

I'm considering getting new springs. I'm interested in smoothing out the ride. Some have mentioned that Swift springs will make the ride smoother than OEM. However, on Arkansas roads, I can't go as low as Swift springs take you. But I think I might be able to handle the smaller drop of Eibach Pro. For those who have had the Eibach Pro springs installed on your F, is the ride smoother than OEM?

I have them only on the front and the ride is a bit smoother than OEM. I didn't put them in the back because it would drop the rear too low, so I stuck with the OEM in the back.

I'm lowered in the front on Teins and the ISF's stock suspension is so harsh to begin with, you wouldn't even notice. Not to mention, like Shadow said, I think it actually rides smoother with springs.

Default Other springs?

Are there perhaps other springs that would offer a smoother ride that don't drop or lower the car at all?

Save up and go for coil overs! They are easier to install and you set the height and how soft they are.

^^^^^ Yeah, that's probably going to give me the most comfort. I just wished they didn't cost so much.

Glad to find someone from Arkansas on here! What part of Arkansas are you from? Im in Hot Springs/Hot Springs Village.

I have ordered the KW v3 for my ISF. Should be in late next week.

Hey man! Yep, I live in Benton and work in Little Rock. I'm in Hot Springs a lot too. We should be able to meet up sometime. I'd be interested in knowing how your KW v3's handle these Arkansas roads. Just PM me.
