I bought Eibach's for my 91 integra many years ago and had the same problem u did. People kept telling me to wait for the springs to settle but they never did. Eibach's are hopeless, i ended up trading them in and getting H&R racing. i wouldn't recomend eibachs to anyone. Good luck

Hey I'm looking at getting Eibach pro-kit with Tokico blue's. I only want to drop the car NO MORE than 1 inch. Is this a good set-up for that? My car is a daily driver and I don't want my kidney's to take a pounding day in and day out. I DO however want to attack a twisty road whenever the situation allows. thx

I have Eibachs with Tokico Blues. Ride is a touch rough over big stuff, but it is very controlled. If you can afford it, go with the Tokico Illuminas (5-way adjustable) as they are a much better IMO. Anyways, I really like the feel of the car, but make sure you get some good quality strut braces to improve chassis rigidity. The increased rigidity will help ride quality.

As for the gap, I'd much rather have the added suspension travel than the better look. Bouncing off the bump stops all the time can be very dangerous and extremely umcomfortable, not to mention it will not handle very well at all. If you really want to dump the car, do it right. Get a set of coil-overs or an air-ride suspension.
