I think there is no response because the same question is asked every week.

Use the search feature of the forum first. It should answer you question.

later

the general feeling is that the gas adjusts are fine w/ eibachs but the gr2's can't handle the spring rate and the car becomes bouncy...but i have no personal experience.

if that is the case, then get the daytona springs which have a considerably lower rate then the shadow. you should be good then.

I'll jump in and respond, I had KYBs and Eibach springs on my CSXT, loved it, had a good ride for a daily driver and would handle like a go-cart. The Konis on my GLHS make it ride like a covered wagon.

I believe they do have a lower spring rate. if im not mistaken, they arent progressive rate either whereas the eibachs are.

p.s. Nice cactus vigo:big grin:
