Default Just ordered: Eibach Sportlines

Now, I cannot decide what I want to do for struts and shocks... I hear I should run 87-93 struts in my 98 because they have more travel, does this run for all companies? Should I run 94+ rear shocks? Im thinking about koni yellows because the sportlines have a lower spring rate than other drop springs so I was thinking about evening it out a bit by getting stiffer struts. Does anyone else run the koni yellows?

whatever you do, don't get eibach struts and shocks. cuz they run like CRAP. my friend put a whole eibach kit that came with eibach struts and shocks and it was HORRIBLE, and i know he put them on right, cuz i helped him put on the whole kit.

i also know someone else on this forum that also bought eibach struts and shocks and regreted it.

i have eibach sportlines too and they run prety good with stock struts and shocks if you can get a camber kit for it. cuz the camber kit will make the strut higher and the strut would no longer be in its compressed form as if it was, if it was just lowered by it self with no strut adjustment.

Went ahead and got the Koni Yellows, can't wait till they come in. I now have, the Eibach sportlines, koni yellows, Maximum Motorsports caster/camber, and a steeda bumpsteer... should be good, maybe do swaybars and endlinks but are the cobra swaybars bigger than the normal anyways? Recommendations on swaybars?

Awsome, good to hear... are they fairly adjustable? Daily driver-able... I dont really mind, but how stiff/soft do they get?
