Those of you who have had aftermarket springs (Cobb, Eibach, H&R, et. al.) but left your struts/shocks stock, can you give me your assessment of how things are going..?...is the "it will blow your stockers" argument valid, need for camber readjustment in your case or not, overall improvement in handling or were you less than impressed.

Thanks in advance for you folks who spend the time replying.

Edited: Could you mention how long, many miles you have put on your system?

From the Cobb website, they say theirs were designed to be used with stock struts so i'm interested on the response as well.

Does the camber need to be adjusted with the Cobb?

How do i actually adjust camber BTW? I was never sure on this, new bolts perhaps or a different way...?
 
Im running Eibach Pro Kit Springs with the stock struts and stock camber arms, alignment is within specs all the way around.. the ride is good but after driving for awhile I wish I would have went ahead and did the Koni yellows or FSD struts at the same time for alittle added performance. Car handles good but it could be better...before I invest in new struts tho, I'll probably consider coilovers since theres more adjustments that can be made and price is only a few hundred bux more then the struts themselves. Good Luck deciding.
