I've riddin in a car with eibachs and stock svt struts. It was a comfortable ride!! ANd he had 40k on the clock. IT was comfortable ride and handled way better than stock form.
THere was no front nose dive or lifting when he accelerated.
My car gets mad front nose dive and lift during acceleration, and yes i know its for comfort, or my struts are shot 
I believe eibachs are not harsh on stock supension considering they drop the car 1-1.2 inches. Anything more than that i wouldn't recommend. Only if you get better struts.
I wouldn't do anything but bat kit on a mirko car, well considering i live in michigan and its my daily drive!!
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Yeah, my B+G Sport springs on stock SVT struts were "comfortable" too, till one blew and all others started to ride like crap.

suprisingly, it's not a crappy ride at all. but as to why there's stock struts on it, you'd have to ask bill (knukonceptz). i bought the car from him back in '04 and i was happy with the ride so i never changed it.

No idea what you are talking about. Eibach states 1.25 inch front and rear. It might be 1 and 1.2 when actually measured.
I said B+G Sport, not Autobahn. Which is 1.6 inch all around according to B+G. I don't know the exact drop if measured, but it's still almost the same.
Sounds pretty close if you ask me.

I'm curious why Marks car doesn't sag in the rear like almost all the Eibach setups I've seen.
Is it just a weight thing?
