Yeah thats what i'm thinking unsure how well the Tein Springs work with the blisten shocks though.... Might go compare the specs of the springs.

The stock shocks aren't working too well with the Tein Springs at the moment. Ride is fine on Aussie Roads... but get nasty jolts sometimes on unexpected patches of road... a little inconsistent at the moment.

Tein SS:
F 1.7" drop, 6.2 spring rate
R 1.3" drop, 2.7 spring rate

Eibach Pro:
F 1.6" drop, ? spring rate
R 1.4" drop, ? spring rate

Eibach ment to be 10-15% stiffer than stock.

I'm guessing the Spring Rate is similar then. Hopefully the shocks would work well with the Tein's then. I'm wondering what differenece to the ride it makes with the difference in ride height between front and back

If you can pick .1" difference, you are a lot better than me! lols!

If i were you i'd get the Eibach springs as well as Bilstein shocks cause what happens if you're not happy with the ride of the Tein/Bilstein combo?I don't know,it may be fine but again what if it isn't?You'll have to pull all 4 shocks out again and replace springs!Trust me you'll be happy with the ride and your wife won't complain.

Yep definately low...can't compare to tony1234 cause never driven it but can definetly vouch for eibach/koni combination aswell. When I originally got the quote, Bilsteins were alot cheaper than koni's but settled for koni cause had the cash at the time.

Overall, for me worth every cent

True my wife not complaining either, even though I thought she would

This combo is also worth considering as Konis are good shocks.around the same sort of money by memory.
