I have the Eibach Pro kit, and unlike coilovers, it will give you a nice smooth ride.

They don't handle as well as the coilovers do , but they still handle VERY well, and will give you a smooth ride too. The OP wants great handling WITH a smooth ride, so these are his best choice.

so get coilovers on what strut? I was thinking of getting koni yellows and eibach springs so I can go stiff to soft but I will take advice from other cl owners I like to go fast around turns and live around alot of winding roads but also don't want a stiff ride where I feel every little bump in the road on long drives.

but from your comments i will not be ordering the eibach pro kit

Im on eibach pro springs with illumina shocks. Im happy with them, best part is the ability to adjust the stiffness with the shocks.

I was looking at the teins is it worth the extra 300 to just get the ss rather then the basics

SS are dampening adjustable, Basics are not.

Streetka - The Omnis are very similar to the Ksports.

I know they are adjustable but is it worth the extra money to get the ss adjustable or just get the basic.

Guess Ill be ordering the tein ss tomorrow I hate these companies 300 extra for the ss then another 300 extra for the ss-p bullshit, only difference is the ss-p has the option the change the stiffness with another 150 dollar add on.Anyone know the cheapest place to get the tein ss, ebay has a set for 1140.00 shipped.

I have the SS on my 1G and it's definitely worth the extra money, especially if you get the SS-P's with the pillowmounts, baller

haha it is cunty not sure who or why but the view is really nice on this road on all of 218 I think the only reason the road was made was for drivers b.c it runs the same path as 9w, only thing is it runs closer to the ledge of the mountain and has alot more harder turns and better views.

Ok I decided and ordered the ksports I know they are stiffer but the teins seem to bottom out alot and I like how you don't loose travel with the way the ksports lower them selfs along with the pillow mounts and I ordered the ksports shipped for only 815 dollars shipped from a seller off ebay named Milt from grant MI call his number to get this price. 1616 636 8856

The teins ss would have cost 1070 shipped and don't have pillow mounts.

Basics will go a bit lower than the SS's.

I never adjusted my SS's, I always kept them on the stiffest setting so I'm not sure having the SS's benefited me much.

However, I bought them because I wanted the EDFC for some reason...

Maybe "cool" factor...lol

When I was getting ready to purchase I remember hearing that the Basics were bouncy and since I lived in San Francisco...I needed stiffer settings to deal with the shitty ass roads.

Anyways, just my
