Does anyone have these fitted? If so how do these effect the ride? Did you need to replace the shocks if you go for the springs?
Obviously there is a big price difference so your views are greatly received as i don't want to waste money.

If you are looking for a good lowerage then choose AP as the eibachs just dont work in the 9N's. I had them in my old 9N and they ride hight didn't change.

ive got coilovers not sure what type, the handling is good but the ride is not the greatest, especially in the snow the little build up in the middle is uber annoying because the sump and the bit behind it just drags it all catching every little bump, potholes are a nightmare aswell and multistory car parks now have to be avoided.
but for the fun factor and that low look its well worth it

The ride quality in likes of AP, Weitec, KW....etc are far superior in comparison to lowering springs. After having the eibachs I changed to
FK and the ride quality of it was far better than the eibachs
Also remember your standard shocks wont last long either as my both front ones were leaking after having the springs for 6months alone and the shocks
were replaced before i bought the car.
But if you have your mind set on lowring springs then perhaps invest in a set of shortend shocks aswell.
