Question Calling Newage owners with Eibach Springs!

Am thinking about lowering my MY02 wrx on Eibach Springs was wondering what the general opion is of these?

What sort of ride do they give when compaired to the standard springs and how much did they actually lower the car once the springs wore in?

Did they improve the handling or did the car become unsettled over bumpy roads as is often the case when only uprating the springs?

Thanks in advance.

I had them on my MY02 wrx, improved handling, lowered it 25mm or so so the wheels filled the arches better and no noticeable difference in general day to day comfort. Do it, its a fantastic mod

Was reading on another thread that you can get a fair bit of clunking from the new springs not sitting in the seat properly. Have any of you suffered this?

Sorry to Hijack the thread but do these work with 19" wheels? I need to drop the car but am too wary to just buy them then find out they don't fit

No probs was wondering this myself! I'm pretty sure they do as its not that big a drop on the eibach springs. I've heard the handling isnt supposed to be as good on 19's though.
