They are great springs, the stiffness is quite noticeable and the car is much more responsive. They drop just the right amount, unless you want the thing slammed. They work well for a mild drop. Glad I could help!

Mild drop is exactly what I was looking for. I drive 1/2 in WV and 1/2 in NJ so I didn't want something super low that would prevent me from using certain roads in WV because of hills.

You can't beat 140 for 300+ springs either :D

how's the light output with smoke headlights though? I've been thinking of doing that but the light output bothers me.... plus I got 15k bulb....

but let me know bout the output... thanks!
Thanks... And as far as the output goes, I haven't had any trouble with them. When I first did it, I thought the output had significantly changed, but really all I needed to do was adjust the bulbs up more, and my visibility has not suffered at all. Im still using the stockers for the HIDs and from what I know, I know there isn't a lot of light output with any 15K bulb. With that said, you could probably get the same or close to the same visibility just by adjusting the positioning of the bulbs themselves, just don't smoke them too dark.

Definitely, the Eibachs should be a good fit for what you're looking for. And the price sounds perfect as well!
