I'm sorry if this has been discussed, as I'm sure it has. But I was wondering how the CSVT feels after putting on Konis and Eibachs. Also, with does this cause any scraping issues? I do have 225's. Thanks.

The ride will be similar any shock because the springs dictate most of the ride characteristics, i.e. hard or soft. Eibach's are progressives so they are harsher than stock but not as bad as a linear spring. Koni's can be adjusted to your personal like in over ride feel.

You will be lower to the group so scraping is still an issue. Depending on the cross seciton of the tire you could rub a little.

What about handling? I thought Eibachs were supposed to lower your car safely. Thanks.

Koni/Eibach is a very popular combo, and yes, should be safe.
Lots of spring options, and a few strut options, but you can't go wrong with the Koni's.
Try searching this forum with your subject line and you will get gobs of info and intelligent discussion and analysis. Search the pics forum and get gobs of pics. Come back if you still have questions and someone will be glad to offer more help.
I hope this is helpful to you.
