You really think that BC coilovers will be more comfortable than eibach springs on stock struts? I think you need to research the spring rates a little bit before making that decision. I suspect the coilovers will be even stiffer. ---

I think you need to research the spring rates a little bit before making that decision. I suspect the coilovers will be even stiffer. You have a choice of spring rates you can purchase with the coil overs, and the guinea pigs on the FX forums who got them first went through the process of figuring out which ones were best suited, and with which combination of adjustments made a nice ride… But yeah, coil overs adjusted to the right setting will hands down ride better than Eibachs with stock struts, not to mention my struts are shot from having the eibachs, and the cost to replace all four corners plus install is the same as buying the coil overs lol so may as well go with the ability to adjust rather than spend money to be at the same height with a little more comfort. I’m not saying your wrong, I’m saying if you do it right it will be much much better. ---

I don’t know the spring rate numbers, so it’s impossible to tell for sure really. It will definitely ride better in the sense that the car will be properly dampened, and not bounce as much as it likely does now. I highly doubt the ride will be softer, though. ---

It will definitely ride better in the sense that the car will be **properly dampened,** and not bounce as much as it likely does now. I highly doubt the ride will be softer, though. Im not going to make it softer per se, but the ride will be better overall…“properly dampened” ---
