Eibach springs are purely cosmetic. Their spring rates are too soft to improve handling. If you're going to frequent HPDEs, coilovers are $ well spent. For most of us a set of springs and shocks are enough.

If you actually want to improve handling look for a spring rate of 700/250+.

Ya occasionally I did, but as others have stated....you learn how to crawl over speed bumps or just out right avoid them..

So what would be the downfall to having this soft of spring on your car??? I mean will the springs bottom out a lot or something???

With that much of a drop and that soft a front spring rate it will roll like crazy, the tire will smack the inner fenderwells over bumps and the front wheels would be constantly reaching the extremes of their travel creating a really unpredictable front end....

Poisnd, What type of springs would you recommend then for a drop of about 1.5" all the way around?
