Yeah i do like the springs, not really a difference on the street but i bet ill see one when we go out and take another drive on some twisty roads. A little wear n tear on them will do tho cause it sounds like it bottoms out when i go over speed bumps, lol.

@Yruyur- Did you change the bump stops when you installed your Eibach springs? Me and my pops decided not too and just kept the factory ones on....

Spacers look awesome! Which ones did you get and how much?

I changed the bump stops to the ones in the kit. I did hear a thud or two when hitting a good bump for the first month or two but it either stopped or I got used to it. It could have been the speing settling but not sure.

Okay well if you hear a this then ill just wait it out and ill cal eibach customer service tomorrow at work. But yes it does make a huge difference! But I got the eibach 20mm ones. They were roughly 185-190$ for 2 tho!!! It's worth it in my book tho. Tomorrow gonna pop the wheel off again and put in lock tight in the lugs that go on with the spacer so I know everything is secure when I do some spiritual driving.

I wish I had stuff to do to the FR-S but I have more too do to get the bronco ready for rally season in a few weeks and after last season it needs all the help it can get. But I'm more experienced with an old v8 than the, new stuff in the FR-S so I feel a little more at home with it.

It's pretty much the same thing, if one person is selling an item and/or promoting their item via posts and the others are forced to pay for their advertising it would be unfair. Via banners or posts, you're still reaching out to potential consumers. However, i will agree that in this case it seemed less like vendoring than just covering costs to help fellow users out.

Same thing with my vinyl fender inserts and other pieces.
