Almost say good riddence, as they cause more severe camber problems than they helped in handling impovements. The rear progressives were the main problem..........sudden snap over steer in severe maneuvers in rain or snow/ice as the rears got stiffer and stiffer and stiffer as the body tried to roll. The rear center of gravity is high because of gas tank so the 0.8" drop doesn't help as much as the 1.0" front drop with lower basic CG.

Check with various sponsors and Nopi/Stillen, they may still have them somewhere in inventory. Many were used in active conversions.

Too low to the ground and too stiff.

If you replace the spring seat and rebound stop rubber, it won't be so low and will ride better. Fresh upper links help too. All small money parts except the links.

Actually, I did that as well as new Tokicos when I installed the springs. It is just low enough so I can't get my floor jack under it. I do like the handling however.

LOL Keep the springs and get a lower floor jack. I assume you have at least 3" clearance.

Or jack the rear first, then the front. That's what I do.

Have you had any luck finding them yet? All those links that I posted said that they had Eibach springs in stock.
