    The drop looks good! But rides like crap. I know my struts & shocks are completely gone. I am replacing them with the Monroe Sensa Tracs since im going to be selling the car anyways. But should I replace any other parts since im replacing the strust & shocks that might make the ride softer? Like the strut mounts?

    Also is this a hard job to do yourself in the driveway with Air Impact gone & hand tools? Any idea the amount of time to do the front? Then back

    What he said, and if you do by suspension why not buy used or at least stock to get it hrough sales?
    I just wish the police loved my car as much as i do 3.5,160 Stat,HAI,ZZP F/R STB, SSAC Headers, Reptile PCM

    The ride wasnt that bad at first. But after I have put 10,000 miles on the setup. I feel every bump and dip in the road.

    I drive the car alot & its a nice car. Im not hell bent on selling the car just yet & if I do sell. I want to get pretty close to what im asking.

    99PrixGT thats what I think im going to do. But just curious any other parts I should change to help the ride & life of the car. I like to take care of my vehicles

    Stock Struts & Shocks
    Stock Sway Bars
    Stock pogo washers

    I just did the Eibach Pro Kit Drop & it has got worse over time & now I hate driving the car.

    I know it feels like the car bounces on some bridges. I just wonder if I should change any parts I might have also wore out along with the Stock Struts & Shocks since the Eibach kit sealed the fate of my car.

    So Pogo washers? Any other tricks to getting a soft grandpa ride with the new Struts & Shocks

    go with KYB AGX's for the struts because you eibach killed murdered and raped your stock struts!

    So if you like the drop and wanna keep it ''low'' get the agx's,anti-pogo washers and some new strut mounts.

    but if you wanna go back to normal height go with Quick Struts or find your self a use set of stock Complet struts..
