They require maintenance where stocks don't. Need to grease the bushings. Not really a downside but something to be aware of. Interesting article on the difference here.

What did you decide? F+R or just rears? What brand are you going with?

if you go too stiff in the back, I believe the car will understeer.. correct me if I'm wrong guys. Look for an adjustable one if possible.

Negative, If you do the rear, the front will get farther away from understeer and get closer to oversteer...

Did my Eibach sways today. Spectacular!
I can proudly say I own a sports car now.
Also got a gt spec rear lower tie brace and a tanabe lower front brace. Not sure how much the braces help...but it is spectacular.

waiting on price quotes for both eibach and hotchkis. Still have the nagging idea I should maybe just get the 90 coupe rear bar and save a bunch. Either way I'm getting the gtspec fstb.
