I have basically the same setup. Eibach Springs. The only thing I can say is be careful of potholes and speed bumps. Sometimes when I go over a railroad track that is not smooth I can feel the front bottom out, its a bit scary and you always remember to be careful around them. The ride is a little rougher then stock. My fathers Supra is 100% stock same year and his ride feels softer. I enjoy the ride better in myne, and when I trade with him he does not want to trade back.. hehe

I think it looks alot better this way.

how does it ride.. the more i drive my 87 the more i hate the eibachs.. i could be teh dead tems shocks, but seems to soft, but on a big bump its hard.. I dont like hte incosistancy.... i think i want a linear spring rate instead..

 

[Stanzaspeed]

nice pics that car is beautiful :love:

nice to see you lowered her and ditched 4x4 mode

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Approved! Im going back to stock TEMS shocks soon... Fight between the Eibachs and RSR's....I want the RSRs just for te spring rates.. I think thats what I may get tho.

Nie looking soup Matt!

The ride is absolutely amazing, so smooth on the highway, I'm thinking it's a bit on the soft side, but it's alot stiffer than stock, that's for sure. Eibachs + KYB's is the perfect combo.

LOL you kidding me? Raw pics are hideous, especially with my crappy digital camera, I raised the contrast by 2-3.

[BorHor]

Hot.
KYB + Eibach = The best. My friend has the same combo in his miata also.

Thanks alot man. Yeah, it is definently an awesome setup, I'll be getting a new strur bar soon as well, I'll start trying my shot at fast turns once I get that. :naughty:

wow, your car is beautiful! What kind of muffler is that?

Thanks, it's actually a Flo-Pro muffler, I hate it, lol. It's very old and worn out, new muffler is going on soon, hopefully the MR 2.5" N1 replica if things work out as planned.

now do an alignment.
from what i hear.
but thats all new to me.

Yes sir, an alignment should be done after all suspension work is done. I'm gonna have it done Sunday after I get my new rack and pinion put in.

Approved! Im going back to stock TEMS shocks soon... Fight between the Eibachs and RSR's....I want the RSRs just for te spring rates.. I think thats what I may get tho.

Whatever you do, don't go back to stock shocks, especially with lowering springs. The springs will blow soon after, so they'll have to be replaced. Do shocks + springs at the same time if money allows you to do so, so much better in the long run. I spent $117 shipped for my brand new KYB GR2's, I'll give you the link if you wish.
