S/S combo question for you suspension gurus out there?
I have searched and read many threads on this forum and still can't make a decision. I have a set of Eibach Pro Kit and have been waiting to get some dampers to go with them since my stock S/S have seen 93000 miles. I am planning to stick with my stock rims (17 in). I wonder how the Eibach prokit/Bilstein sport would feel (ride and handling wise) compared to stock? What I'm looking for is the 1" drop, some improvement in handling, and little sacrifice of the ride. Therefore, I am also considering the Eibach prokit/KYB. If any one has experienced or knowledge about these 2 combos, please share your knowledge?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi there,
Thanks for your input on Bilstein. Could you tell me how much stiffer the ride will be with Bilstein sports? Is it 50% sitffer, 100% stiffer compared to stock? I haven't had much experience with modding cars so I'm a little scared. I do like a sporty car but I don't want my CD changer to skip all the time.
I guess the L-tuned S/S would be something that I like. However the L-tuned dampers are not available anymore. What do you think about the Eibach/Bilstein HD combo?
Thanks.

i would do the eibach/bilstein sport combo. i have no experience with the bilstein HD shocks.
your ride will stiffen up by 50% and your cd player will not skip. it's a nice combo and your ride will handle better then your current setup.
even if you found l-tuned shocks, i would bypass these and go for the quailty of bilsteins. i think they still off life time warrante for thier shocks.

That sounds pretty good. With this particular set up (Eibach/Bilstein sport), does it still feel like a luxury car? Do you think I would find more rattles or hear more road noise. Yes, they still offer the life time guarantee but so does KYB.
