Well, the fronts feel great. They are stiff but wont kill you when you're on a rough road. HOWEVER, the rears have seemed to instantly sag on me. They are now lower than they are in the pictures and they seemed to have lost they're stiffness. I don't know how that's possible but I'm going to toss in a 1/2" spacer on both rears and see if that helps. If not, then I'm pulling them and going with Strano or BMR rears.

guys, go with Ground Control adjustable setup. You can change the height to get it where you want it - and spec springs for what stiffness you are looking for.

Not surprised about the rear springs, I put on some pro kits and the right rear sagged pretty bad shortly after, besides that the rears were really soft, I purely hated the Eibach rears, the fronts are still on and I cut my stock rears to the desired height and they are ALOT stiffer than the eibachs, I really like them actually.

If you have limited suspension knowledge and limited time to learn, it's a good half-step,, but like any half step, you will want to go all the way eventually.

they are "coil-over sleeves" Basically you slip it over your shock/strut and then it allows you to adjust the height of the lower perch. Not as adjustable as a true-coil-over setup, but not a static spring either.

Very comparable, although the Stranos are supposed to be slightly better
