Spring question with Performance Shocks

335iaz · 01-02-2011, 02:35 AM

So I recently upgraded my suspension from the stock sport suspension to the performance shocks with the H&R Sport combo. I am finding the ride to bit a bit on the harsh side over some major bumps. The question I have is in regards to the Eibach Pro's ..

If I were to switch springs, it looks like they don't drop as low .. but what I am curious are they softer springs? Do these match better with the performance suspension?

Thanks!

The Eibachs run a tad softer than the H&R Sports but it is not a huge difference. It will make it smoother but may not be enough of a change for you to justify it.

The problem you are having has nothing to do with spring rate and everything to do with the fact that you are riding on the bump stops. If you want a more comfortable ride switch back to the stock springs.
