Installed my coilovers last long weekend but thought id give them a test drive before i uploaded some pics and gave review.
These coilovers are pretty awesome and i would highly recommend them to anyone who is willing to fork out the cash for coilovers. For me i didnt really need any performance out of them just wanted a nice ride height for my new rims. The only reason i picked up the coilovers was cause they were being sold 2nd hand and got an awesome price, only a couple 100 bucks more then brand new H&R Springs.
I have dealt with a few different types of coilovers in my past and i am quite impressed with these. Considering these don't have damper control i feel they have made a perfect happy medium between performance and all round driving. I personally thought the stock springs are way to soft and you can feel your self bouncing down the road after going over a speed bump. The ride is alot firmer but still comfortable for daily driving.
I took these for a ride through Galston Gorge and they give you so much trust in the car, so much less body roll.
I would recommend these to anyone who is looking for a bit of both cosmetic and performance as they are great for both. I have definitely driven on better track coilovers then these but i never plan on going to the track so its all good for me but im sure these would hold up well for the person only doing 3-4 track days a year.

Interesting that the struts used on these are KW and only the springs are eibach.
Put my rims on yesterday which came in the mail on Thursday so here is a photopretty happy with them. As u can see by my first photo of the coilovers I'm no where near being at the lowest setting and I think I might have to raise it a little.

Looks nice on those rims, the rears could use a spacer though
Sit's about the same height as mine, do you get much scrubbing in the front? What are the wheel specs?
