I have Ford C springs on my ride and I love it. I got 17 inch wheels as well.

I just put mine on 5 days ago so it looks pretty high right now, especially in the back, also because I installed fresh new bilsteins all around. Next month they should settle and I'm buying 17" Bullitts

I think i decided to go with a complete new set up since my car is almost to 100k. Thinking about eibach pro kit with new isos, tokico hp series shocks and struts, and cc plates. Do you guys think that should work?

I just removed my tokico HP series strut last week, they were horrible. Maybe it was just my set that was bad but they were weak enough that I could compress them with arm strength. Go with the tokico d-spec or eibach shock/strut package. After switching to c-springs and bilsteins the ride quality is excellent. But my personal experience is to stay away from the tokico HP's.

pretty much all car shocks and struts should be compressible under arm strength, and they are NOT made for ride comfort but for a stiffer and better performing/handling suspension.

Yeah I know but this was beyond "stiff", it was actually harsh enough that when driving it damaged the insides of my headlights housing and the bulb came loose. It may just have been the specific set of shocks were a bad set.
