I think if your auto-xing you might want stiffer springs. &nbsp;Not sure just been told that the eibachs aren't as stiff as they should be(the ones with bigger drop that is). &nbsp;I's preference other than adjustable or non-adjust. shocks. &nbsp;If youcan afford them get adjustables. &nbsp;Oh yeah I got H&amp;R springs and I love them. &nbsp;Stiff but still progressive so not to harsh as daily driver. only 1.4&quot; drop though. &nbsp;Good Luck

This is probably a relatively basic (maybe even stupid) question, but I have a 98s14 with Eibach sportlines. &nbsp;The previous owner had them installed but left the stock shocks in. &nbsp;Will I see a big difference (IE: better handling) if I were to install some Koni Adjustables?

Thanks

A warning to all you people wanting KONI. &nbsp;If you ain't doing it you're self make sure you have good shop before you get them. The front are inserts meaning you got to turn the strut into a housing for the shock. So get a place that is familiar with them. I learn the hard way. 2 ?PERFOMANCE? shops none of them had a clue. I don't know how the HTS and GAB are but they should easier (Adjustables ). Finally I went to a real mechanic and they told me I was missing the part that hold the rear springs and shox. I will have my KONI shox on my car on TUESDAY. I bought the KG/mm springs they should be really still 4.8K and 4.6K. Still I don't have them my car yet. I let you know have they are on Tuesday night (with pics).

If you see these warning signs don't go to these shops.
