Damn. Well, my ride is not that uncomfortable at all. It's just when I go past "bumps", the car "feels" them a lot... not incredibly much, but it does feel them.

I bought the car less than 2 months ago so I don't know, maybe it has bad bushings and other suspension related stuff, maybe some minor stuff.

I bought the Eibachs because after the 18" rims, the cars is desperately begging to be lowered. It'll be stiffer now? Well, all I can say is: damn! :(

At least it'll look good. I thought the shocks made a big difference. Maybe my shocks are a little worn? Who knows, when I take it to my mechanic to change the springs I'll ask him what he thinks of the shocks.

easy shock test:
push down on the corner of the car (any corner), if the movement is more than 1. up (rebound) 2. half down 3. settled (stopped), then there is a good chance your shocks are done. the explination i gave was on the springs only, the shocks play just as much of a role (much like water without a cup.... can't have one without the other)
