Yep, very happy with the stance, ride quality isnt as great as I want it but its all around average. Thinking about giving the road magnet springs a try since staged raved about them so much, and their stance was just as perfect.

Pictures of mine on YYZ first page but remember these are the eibach pro springs not the sport line springs, I had those and they were way lower but rode like crap and always bottomed out.

Function over form, looks good in my opinion and that is all that matters.

Not a base model, 2.4L. I do hope it settles a bit more. Too high? Have you seen the 2.4L stock wheel gap???

Rides like ass. But you'd probably be GTG down there. PA roads blow.

I went up from the ksports. I wanted sportlines but am planning to put 260,000 miles on this car. I do hope it settles a bit more. Some of the 2.4's seemed to have more wheel gap from stock than others. Mine was one of them. I actually drove by two base models today with the same wheel gap as mine. I am getting old and gotta think of longevity

lol for the first time ever im going to say, you are probably better off with powell YYZ springs, they are probably the best springs you can by for a "i dont want a crazy drop but great daily driving performance". The springs are tuned for the best ride quality and performance, which is exactly the reason why he doesnt allow them to drop the car more then i think .75" on the V5's, that be something to ask powell. Only thing about those springs is they are about $350 dollars, but they will outlast the car. Really wish you would have asked first before buying the eibachs, I think theres been at least a dozen here who have had them break after a few years of daily use.
