Dooster, ride is pretty good, not crashy but firm - my 156's a Lusso and done 147k, I don't think the suspension had been changed, so it was pretty tired!

Handling is much better, with good body control - BUT, speedbumps are a pain - used to be able to straddle the narrow ones and not bottom-out, but since the car's been lowered have to take them very gingerly!

The Eibach's have only been on the car for about a month, so maybe they'll settle in more with age/mileage.

HTH
