Anyone with Eibachs on an MP3?

[mazdamp3_18]

I can get a great price on Eibachs at my work and i was wondering if anyone has an mp3 with them.

can you notice a difference? is it stiffer? have you noticed a decrease in roll in hard cornering? is it lower than stock? How much lower?
would you reccomend them?

the reason im asking this is b/c racing beat hasnt emailed me back about the spring rates on the stock mp3.. i have emailed them 6 times and NO responce.
so the next best thing is input from someone who has them on their mp3..

thanks

I have the Eibachs ...and 215/40/17 tires, the car does look a whole lot lower then stock although it is just a 1.5 drop. Handling I would say is a whole lot stiffer...I have noticed while taking corners aggressively I practically get next to no body roll at all. It just goes where you point it. The only thing for me that has deminished my performance is the clunk. With a stiffer suspension my tail does seem to kick out much earlier then before...where as before the dip in the body compensated for it. Although if you want to go for the spoolin springs with a 2' drop....and I think relatively the same amount of stiffness as the Eibachs, it might be to your liking. Hope this helps.....

I ordered the spoolin springs. All of the pictures of the Eibachs and H&Rs that I saw just weren't quite low enough for me. I don't want my car slammed (ie 3" like GCs), but I never liked the look of the stock MP3. It just sits kind of weird, you know? I think the SPOOL springs will be perfect for me. To each their own I guess!
