ive got the pro kit with stock struts and no cc plates or bump steer and i can say yes the ride is a little more bumpy but the handling in the curves more than makes up for the roughness, ive had no problems with the kit buy i wish my stang was lower! future upgrades are frontcoilovers, bumpsteer kit, c/c plates and steeda 2x balljoints.

you do not need a bumpsteer kit if you get your car aligned correctly. I'm 2 1/4" lower than stock and I have 0 bumpsteer, any gains in handling with your eibachs is not really due to the eibach spring themselves. It's due to a lowered center of gravity and psychology. I'm sure on stock shocks/struts your car is actually worse for corner carving as your chances on a blown shock/strut are increased.

Amen to that brother. I should be hitting up Hotchkis Performance for a TVS kit. 2" drop all around and friggin awesome handling.

I wouldnt buy any suspension components from any company that believes upgrading the uca's will increase handling on the sn-95 platform.

I installed mine without. My car rides great. I did get an alighnment afterward because the previous installer of the Eibachs was a moron and intalled them with the tail not in the socket. I went to remove my ISO's and found what they had done. They put them in wrong AND had it alighned with the car sitting an inch higher. (basically stock hight) I reinstalled them correctly and took out the ISO's. Rides like a dream. With a really bad road and my 275's in the front I can get irritated from time to time but normal driving it still feels great.
Shut up. You are the one that installed those wrong the first time.
Shhh... It was a secret. We're not telling the rest of the class I was a newbie once!
