Interesting. Aside from my Impala I also had Eibachs in my old '99 Z34 and both ride/rode nice and definetly not bouncy. I did have a bit of sag in the rear of my Z34 though.

So whats the spring rate(s) of the SSCs, or are they progressive rate?

Don't know the rate off hand, but IIRC they are progressives.

Im sure they are progressive, look at the coils, if they are closer together at the tops or bottoms they are progressive, Iveused Eibach in the past, but on an INFERRIOR CAR my 03 Stang. (which I loved).

Then they are progressive....I knew about the different grouping of coils, but I wasn't all that sure.
