you should be fine but when you go over speed sumps you need to go over at a lil bit of an angle. Ask lbc he has 20's in NY and trust me you gotta watch potholes and such but you will be fine he hasnt complained at all about them

You essentially have to STOP at each speed bump and roll over it... like if you were rolling an egg over it and didnt want it to break.. Thats what I do and I havent ever bottomed out on a speed bump.

I'm planning on getting 20's with a drop and that is what i was worried about as well...not only speed bumps but pot holes too. oh and the quality of the ride. I dont want to regret doing it...

To strictly answer, "will the 2.5 eibach fit on the 3.5?" - Yes. However the spring rates of each set are different because they are made for slightly differently weighted cars and the 2.5 springs are intended to be a bit more cushy than the 3.5 springs.
