Beerme, what do you think is better handling, the KW coilovers or Eibachs? I realize that either would be a great improvement over stock.

KW >>>> Eibach

In terms of handling, KW hands down but if you're not planning to track your car, I don't see how you will use KW to its full potential for daily driving.

Eibach + Hotchkis should get you the handling you want for daily driving and not have to worry about speed bumps but it doesn't mean you can take a speed bump on at high speed

coilovers are going to always be better than spring but you have to consider 2 things:

1. how much do you want to spend
2. are you tracking.

coilovers are only worth it if you are tracking your car, springs will do just fine for spirited driving. eibach springs are $230, coilovers are $1,000+ that was my deciding factor

where do you live that all you drive over is speedbumps? and i don't track my car but i started with eibachs. then got tanabe's for the rear and kept eibach fronts to level out the drop. but still not happy with height i got the tanabe sustec coils. its great being able to adjust the height to your exact preference. lou@amplified gave me a great deal on the coils
