Eibach pro springs......rides like a pogo stick
Perhaps I jumped the gun a little. I added Eibach Pro kit. Now my ride is something like a pogo stick. i should have thought about shocks at the same time. Which ones should I get ? I've been advised of an adjustable panhard bar as well, both for and against by the way. What does the pan hard bar do anyway ?

The panhard bar re-centers the rear of your vehicle. The reason it rides like crap is because you didn't get the shocks/struts done.
Most here probably use the Tokico D-specs, I do and like them. The Koni's have a good following and no one complains in the least.

Yep - D-Specs or Konis. The PHB prevents the lateral (left, right) movement of the rear axle. Because it swings in an arc, lowering the car has the effect of moving your rear axle slightly to the left (drivers side). This may or may not be a problem depending on where the axle was from the factory and the width of your tires. In general you will want an adjustable phb to re-center the rear axle. The phb will neither hurt nor improve the "pogo" effect you are currently experiencing, its the dampers you need.

What would be a good price for both together?
I already have a shop that will install everything for $150- I don't have any tools or a place to do it.

D-Specs ~%500-550
Koni Sports ~700+
Prices can vary, need to look around, wait for a sale, buy used, etc.

Have the D-specs and Steeda lowering springs. Still a little more bouncy than stock, but that's just the trade off you take with lowering. +1 for argonaut on the adj PHB explanation.

you can also get the Eibach dampers to go with your springs...
They offer an entire suspension set-up... I agree, the ride sucks with just springs....
I went with the Pro-Kit Plus... It was springs, sway bars, & Dampers.. Everything worked well together.
