[Shotimes] Eibach springs with stock struts?

[Carl Prochilo]

Dave,  You're getting a lot of help/advice here simply because there are a
lot of people that have changed their suspension.  Quick question though,
do you have any other suspension mods like aluminum subframe bushings or
other poly bushings?  IF yes, these things have a pronounced effect on
ride quality.

Anyway, having read through this entirely I really sense the strong
concern you have about the ride quality and it seems that the best course
of action is to set the car back to factory specs.
