Default Springs caps + Eibachs = ???

I bet this has probably been discussed before, but nothing really came up in a search.

I've heard some people comment about the risks of running Eibachs with stock shocks. I've also heard people using Eibachs with no problems.

My question is if anybody has any experience using Eibachs and spring caps? I don't want to spring for Motons, but I want something lower than what just springs can offer.

Anybody have any feedback? Thanks.

there has been a few people running the spring caps and eibachs....go back about 2 pages and there a guy with a blue SRTC with that setup. there is also a guy with a yellow srt vert running that setup also but i think he is removing the caps because they make the car bouncey I just lowered my car with eibach i took a few pics, due a search under eibachs....

I have just the Eibachs on my '06 coupe, but the front is already very low. If anything, maybe just put the caps on the rear shocks to level it out. I sure wouldn't want to go lower up front.

Thanks for the info. As long as the ride wouldn't be too compromised, I still think I'd want to go a bit lower.

I really like the look and ride with Eibachs' and spring caps. No issues with rubbing in the front wheel wells. "RX Viper" was at the dyno day where the above photos were taken of my car. He liked the set up so much that he just completed getting the same set up installed on his Mamba.

I think your car looks perfect. That's definitely the way I'm leaning.

Just a precautionary question - somebody mentioned getting airborne while hitting a bump at speed. Ever experienced anything like that? I daily drive my car and still want it to be livable.
