Do you think getting shocks will fix the bounce? It really annoys me. I guess its because of the progressive spring design?

So are there any other lowering springs out that will be less bouncy and maybe a little less of a drop?

I'm still surprised that you find them 'bouncy'. Every thread I have ever read on the Eibach ProKit for our car, has generally described them as a bit stiffer than stock but very close and acceptable.
What is the Eibach ProKit model number that you installed?

Have any of you guys experimented with coil spring spacers? I just would really like the whole car to sit 1/2 an inch higher.

When I do scrape it is always just barely. I think half an inch would do the trick and I could keep everything the way it is and get an alignment done.

I wouldn't call it bouncy... I would call it jiggly.

Honestly, you're over 100k with stock OEM suspension.. You should sell the springs and buy some COILOVERS!!

I've never heard of Eibach's being bouncy?... I think your stock suspension is a little worn out?

Aftermarket shocks which can handle aftermarket springs will stop the bouncing. The reason its bouncing the oem shocks are understress with heavier load with the springs i believe. Do you have the parts number for the Eibach springs? i really wanna see on their website which ones you have because i know someone who has these springs on his RWD and he is not slammed like you are.

You won't retain OEM stiffness regardless. Eibach design is way to progressive for it. Aftermarket spring + strut combo will work, but coilovers are the way to go.
