i went with the eibach's. when i installed the rears its like they didn't even lower the car so i had to remove several times and cut 1/4 coil each time to get the rear where i wanted it. it was a pain in the F**kin a**!
and yes i had the rear spacers.

The issue with the rear Eibachs is that they lower the car TOO much (1.2") for the 1"spacers that everyone is making and the shocks are pumping themselves back up. I have a set of the MM plates to install later in the winter and I'm hoping it drops down to where they should be.

i don't know about all that because i had to grind my shock shaft 1/2 inch to pull more shock into the car and that still didn't work. it wasn't til i cut some of the springs coil off that it came down. i've seen V's with eibach's and they look great but i also found other guys who had the same problem i had. Stageup used eibachs and the spacers fron 2003rc as did i and had different results.

Thanks for the compliments, I used the mightymouse spacers and let me say the install was a pain in the ***, have to pull the entire upper half of the back seat out to access the far bolt and have room to work. If i didnt have a lift I would have given up no doubt especialyl since i did the hendrix axle at the same time. Im very happy with the springs and even more so now its done lol. Ride quality isnt much difference then stock but it is a little more harsh which i expected. handling only imporved slightly but once i install the new sways this week i expect better results. I did it more for looks since its my daily driver.
