Limequat or Backlash, can one of you post a pic of the stance with Eibach and Bilstein combo?
I plan on using the same and a pic might save me from having to re adjust them.

Otherwise I was going to set my bilsteins on the second lowest setting. That way I could see if I wanted to go up or down a step.

I may have more pictures hiding somewhere but there's two lol.

Limequat, did you switch to stock springs all the way around or just in the front?

Yeah I want to set it to the highest in the rear. Cars always look faster when they're lower in the front lol

Ran some Bilstein's in my 740 Volvo, they were amazing. Transformed the car. Running KYB's in the Sup, loving them. Firm but not hard, minimal dip under braking. Also running some ebay springs and sleeves someone gave me, they suck. Too hard in back, too soft up front. Going to be putting the stock ones back on. Would like to get some H&R drop springs though...

I have had HR&R and they can't be compared to the eibachs at all. They sag after a while. Thus you get the extra dip. Had eibachs + tokico blues and they were awesome. Would have like for the height to go lower so my next set of suspension will be coilovers.

Wow, your car sits a whole lot more level than mine did.

Just the front. This is where I lose relevance. I dropped the crossmember 2" to install my 4.2 I6. In theory, this doesn't effect ride height...but it did. I wound up with stock springs, front only on the medium setting. That seemed to get me pretty close to where I was in the pics above, and the ride is great.
