Default break-in period and springs?

whats everybody's opinions on a good break-in period for ep3? i got one tuesday as did my friend and he doesnt believe at least 1k miles... i was curious as to what everybody has heard or done and how satisfied you are with what you did?

also has anyone gotten the eibach sportline's? what do you think of those?

Why be so antsy? Many dont believe in break in but i have seen great break in stories. Prolly 5 outta 7 are a good bit faster with a proper break in.

2 buddies of mine are into drag, both with EP's, and the one with proper break in and close to stock pulls a good bit harder than the modded one. Modded EP recieved probably a 200 mile break in, if that. The other which is near stock recieved a 1000+ mile and was still babied.

Dont be so antsy with it. Many people wait 1500-2000 miles
