Arrow Eibach Pro-Kit/Koni's installed....

Well after MUCH deliberation with myself, this is the suspension upgrade I finally decided upon. I must say that I am really happy with this set-up. The car handles much, much better with sharper cornering capabilities and no body roll, the drop is just what I was looking for, and the ride quality is near stock. During daily driving, you can't really even tell the suspension has been modded. It’s slightly bouncy on shitty roads, but otherwise it’s great. Ingalls rear camber kit on order, Neuspeed front strut and Progress rear sway pending install, and my 18" G-games on Falken FK-451’s should be here early next week!

Very nice drop. Nice job taking multiple pics, makes it easy to see the drop from a variety of views.

Thanks for all the comments!! The drop is 1.6 F and 1.4 R. The shocks cost me $600 shipped....which i know is steep, but is also the going rate for Koni's. I ordered them from the local tuning shop that did the install. They are set at the stock (middle) perch setting all the way around. I have not messed with the ride height at all; I'm waiting until I install my 18's with low-pros to see how it looks before I adjust anything. I also have the Koni's set at the softest setting but am considering turning it up a notch or two. Can anyone attest to the differences between firmness settings?

Makes me realize how much nicer the car looks by just lowering it a bit to get rid of the 4X4 look. The factory wheels are really nice and bright, offset by the dark body, they look very sporty. Real nice job.

Yeah I agree about the stocks. I think im just going to keep my '04 stock rims/tires for a while until i replace them. New rims and tires are just so expensive

How is the ride with your setup? How much different than stock?
