Eibach's with tokico adjustable shocks/struts w/ stock sway bar?
Is anyone running this set up?
On my gutted FB I have tokico blues, ST springs, with ST swaybars and I'd say it's a bit to stiff for the daily grind here in the DC/Balto area.
I'm getting another FB for the daily grind and it has tokico blues, racing beat springs, with stock sway bars... I haven't driven the car yet but the ST and RB springs are pretty close in rate with the RB's being stiffer IIRC so I'm not expecting more compfort.
I have a set of Eibach's (pro-kit) that I think would be good with a set of tokico adjustable shocks for the daily drive but I'd like to see if anyone has run these together and what their opinion is.
I also have a set of Monro replacement shocks for the FB that I thought about using with the Eibachs.

I have been using Eibach ProKit springs with Tokico Illuminas. Worked well for me on the track at Mazfest just a few days ago.
Suspension Technique springs have the softest spring rate amongst the three you mentioned, and if you think that's too stiff then perhaps stock springs and 60 series tires will suit your daily driving needs.

I have the Eibach prokit, ST bars F&R, Illuminas and a full poly bushing swap. Handles like a skateboard and it is stiff. The only part that will soften the suspension up is installing oem springs, then adjusting the Illuminas to suit.
Unfortunately the donut won't do me any good, my problems are higher up, and no, it's not above the sholders. lol.

LOL!!! I deserve this I guess.
I from these comments I'm going to see how the eibach and monro combonation works with the full poly bushing swap.
I have to admit, my Scooby does spoil me a little.

Already have the shocks from another car... so it would just be time. I don't have tokico illumina's but do want a set anyway so hell how many combos are possible with the following?
Srings............................................ Shocks/Struts...............................Swaybars
Racing Beat...................................Tokico Blue's (HP)..........................ST
Suspension Techniques.................Tokico Illumina..............................Stock
Eibach............................................ Monro (because I have 'em).........Stock w/o front
Stock, I'd need a set of stockers
