I got my Eibach springs for quite a deal.So now between them and the Eibach Dampers and Hotchkis sways I have $1k in the suspension and it is awsome!I have not driven anything with KW's to compare it to but the ride and handling at this point feel more like a sports car than a 2 ton wagon.The sways are a good bit larger than stock and half the weight(another plus),they keep my Mag very flat in the twisties.I'm very happy with the car now after waiting for 6 month's to get the dampers.I highly recomend them for anyone who has lowered thier car with springs,be it Eibach or any other.

The install for the sways is a breeze.Dropping the rear cradle sounds intimidating,but is really very simple.I had the sway changed and the cradle back up in about 1 1/2 hrs.The front bar is just a bolt in.The shocks and struts are time consuming but simple as well.Just make sure if you are doing them for the first time you have a spring compressor.

The phone call I got was quite funny as well :)

It very disconcerting when you get a phone call, it's just a grown man giggling uncontrollably :)
