Default Those with eibach springs.

I've tried searching and most pics either no longer work or are not too detailed. I am looking for a ISF lowered on eibach springs. I am debating only using the front springs and leaving the rear stock. Please post pics if your lowered on eibachs. Any help or pics are appreciated, thanks guys!

How is the ride for swift springs compared to stock? And if you got it done by a shop, how much did installation cost if you don't mind me asking?

It was $400 installed. Great deal I couldn't pass up. It's rides pretty close to stock.

How's the camber wear on your tires if you don't run a camber kit?

It's just as bad. I flip the tires to get more miles.

I noticed on your ISF a Ballade sticker. I assume your SN on s2ki was Monekyboi? If your the same James with the shipping store I've met u before shipping at your shop! Small world! When I told Alex I planned on selling my S for an ISF he mentioned you had one and he lowered it.

Eibachs in front and OEM rear looks good. I have them on my car but I don't have any pictures of that yet.

Almost an even drop in all 4 corners.

That's what I'm leaning towards.
