The car currently has H&R springs + Bilstein sport shocks. The ride is punishing on my local roadways and I'd be happy to pick up a little ride hide/ground clearance. The previous owner had to use #5 pads (thickest) in the front and #2 pads (2nd thinnest) in the rear. He said it took a number of attempts to get the car to a safe ride height and level following the initial installation.
I am going to switch over to the Eibach, retain the short Bilsteins, hope to pickup 1/8" ride height and hopefully a better ride quality on the local streets. Right now, the car is probably 10-15% stiffer than a BMW equipped with the Sport Suspension (for sake of comparison). It's just a bit too much for the horrific roads I drive on.
Car has 18" wheels. The car is perfectly level now.
