Did you give Eibach a call? They are in Irvine and might be able to help with a different set of rear springs. Otherwise, I would go with PSS9s. Most say that ride is better than stock but handling is much better.

BTW - we should have a dentist meet one of these days!

I'd call eibach and see what they have to say about it. Honestly, that tiny bit of sag in the back is still alot better than the 4x4 that it was before. Hopefully Eibach has an answer for you though.

I think sagging is common to lowering springs... That's why coilovers are the way to go. I also sagged when I had Eibach's pro-kit in my previous ride.

Is it just a coincidence to have 7 out 8 p-car owner with eibach springs had sagging issue? Does H&R have similar problem too?

Or perhaps we all should loose some weight when putting eibach springs.

h&r springs sag.. its a pretty known thing in the tuner industry...

does the rear really sag or is it the arch on the fenders that is tricking you..
ususally the arch in the front fender is higher and the rear is lower , which give u the illusion that the rear sags..

Thanks Arling. Yeah, I had a bad experience as well with springs-only. I think the coil-over is the best route.

On a separate note, I still need to get my rear fenders rolled. When can I stop by?
