Sure they do, some.....the eibach springs are progressive and I've noticed
that when normally driving  the car it's very close to the stock ride. It's
when I get aggressive with the car that they start feeling stiffer, or when
I have several passengers in the car, which isn't very often. Most of the
time I"m the only one in the car. The major thing I noticed after installing
this setup was that when accellerating the car dosen't seem to transfer
weight to the rear near like it did.
