Finally got round to having these put on the car today with a geo alignment. I'm surprised how much lower the car looks compared to stock and also the improvement in ride and handling. Decent mod to my mind. 
Eibach Springs

I've got a set in the garage, my reckoning is ill change them if/when my originals fail, have you got a pic with yours on? 
Tempted to do mine too. I find when motorway driving at 70'ish :wink: , the car feels a little skittish.
I only had it in the local indy last week for a suspension check after hitting a pothole and got told everything was fine and just needed a 4 wheel alignment.
Wondering if switching to these springs will help.

With OEM suspension, the front end of mine was 'floaty' at extremely high speeds (in excess of 100mph). This resolved with Eibachs. However, the pitch and roll with acceleration / cornering remained until I changed to coil overs and thicker ARBs.MikeMcG said:

Exactly my thoughts. Ends up quite a bit lower too.

How do you find the front on our dreadful potholed roads?
Ha, yeah, I'm terrible Stu had them for about 4 months...still have some CSL's sitting in the garage that I need to put tyres on to put on the car.
Apparently the springs and bushes on my car were 'perfect' so the difference in a fair comparison. I've certainly noticed that you need to approach road bumps to an almost stop, creep and then off you go.

Which coilovers do you have / would you recommend?
KW Clubsports - they give phenomenonal track performance in exchange for an extremely hard ride on the road. If yours is a track car, it's a great piece of kit. If it's a road car I'd get something a little less extreme - the KW V3 and ACS systems are both highly recommended for predominantly road and occasional track use.
