New springs, bad ride

Just put Eibach pro kit and CC plates on my 92 LX 5.0, the ride is pretty hard. Just a weekend cruiser, are there any other suspension parts that need to be changed to get the ride close to stock?

New springs are stiff and will settle somewhat. You should give it some time.

What dampers are you using? Not sure of the FOX, but some cars require trimming the bumpstops.

How long has it been since you replaced your shocks and struts? Did you replace the isolators too?

Shocks are original w/127k miles, new bumpstop used that came with CC plates and isolators reused.

I would go ahead and get new shocks and struts too.

Looking at getting new shock/strut and poly isolators and front control arm bushings. Do I need to order special shock/strut due to lower springs? Before I changed springs driver side was lower and it still is lower so the isolators are possibly the culprit.
