Eibach Springs I Bought. I Already Talked To Them And They Said To Drive The Car Around For A While Till The Springs Settle In.
The Car Is Already Lowering

1) Do not remove the bumpstops. They are part of what keeps the shock from bottoming out.

2) If these springs have been installed on your OEM shocks, expect the shocks to wear out in about 6 months from now.

When they are worn out, replace them with a stiffer shock like the KYB AGX -- or the KYB GR2 if you're on a tight budget. And yes, you'll need to get the car re-aligned. That's why it's a much better idea to install aftermarket springs and shocks together at one time.

your eibachs, are they the sportline or the prokit?

the sportlines lower your car more so then the prokit. My friends on the prokit and his oem shocks actually have been holding up. Meanwhile... I was on the sportline and my oem shocks bottomed out after 1 month. I bought stiffer shocks (koni yellows) and a camber kit (skunk2). It's a very good idea to just get everything at once so that you don't speend $$ on aligning each time.
