[QUOTE="achmedrauff, post: 3519262, member: 65541"] There are a number of contributions. But remember it is a car with old technology so do not ever expect such a car to feel like say a savvy even. First things first look at your suspension setup.... are all the bearings and bushes in good condition? If it is cracking or brittle when you touch it then it is a long overdue change. Springs over time does not get softer it actually get more rigid and does not flex as normal. So that is to be put into consideration too. Absorbers...well generally absorbers lasts about 60k or so. But sometimes it might last longer... depends on how you drive and where you drive. A simple way to test is to push down each 4 corners of your car....right on top of where your tires are. If the car settles after one rebound compression then it's in excellent condition if more than that it means your shocks are not working anymore and your springs are doing the job. Lastly since you are using 14" wheels and I figure your tyres are 70 or 60 profile it should not be such a trashy ride. Upgrading to larger rims will not solve your ride over bad roads... it will just mean you have more grip and more weight. If you want to up the rims than do it an inch more to 15" with 195/55 profile tyres that should not cost too much on your pockets. [/QUOTE]

eibach pro-kit experience
Guys,
Anyone here has any experience using Eibach Pro-Kit sport spring? I'm interested in this product because it only lowers your car 1.3"-1.5" and claims that you still can use your stock absorber. The Eibach...
