# Anyone happy with KYB/Eibach.? Just installed and mine seems way underdamped->

Posted by gavski (90 SE 5-Spd) on September 03, 2002 at 20:06:45:

Just put on KYB/Eibach and ST bars. Also added new 215/55/16 RE950's on OEM 5 spokes and did 4 wheel alignment after a week of break-in.

Handling is improved, yeh, but feels like stock springs with worn shocks. Just doesnt feel planted. Rebound damping minimal -- bumps on curves really lighten the front end (scary in rain). Lots of movement on rougher paved roads.

Would Tokico's on the front end help, or is the chassis with 155K miles acting as part of the suspension? Thinking about more strut or SFCs.

Anybody have a similar setup / suggestions?!

  - Hard to believe they could may that much difference - didnt seem to do much on my SE-R... gavski (90SE 5-Spd) 20:38:04 9/03/2002 (3)
    - I think it's more likely the shocks than the chassis--> Matt K (89 SE 5spd) 21:23:15 9/03/2002 (2)

        - DONT get Tokicos, go straight for the Konis. It will be worth the extra $$, ask me how I know... n/m Jonny (94se 5spd) 02:22:10 9/05/2002 (0)
