    I've done some reading and research on the Eibach, and it seems that they get rid of preload rough ride that I have with stock springs and the 5100's set at max 2.5... but does it give the same "3 inch lift".

    Also where do you buy just the springs?

    And I know its not a great comparison, but is it worth buying the springs and then buying the king coilovers later? Or is it just smarter to save up for the King front suspension set up?

    Save for the Kings. Comparing 5100s vs Kings is like comparing apples and oranges

    Thanks! From the sounds of it though won't need it haha

    Yeah I realized it's not a good comparison but I read that people said the cost comparison for the performance is equal, but obviously the Kings are better

    But I'll defintely save, thank you

    I have 5100's, I was talking about adding the Eibach to get rid of te preload which makes the ride tougher
