Question RIde with Eibach springs?(w/stock struts)

I was wondering how bad was the ride with Eibach springs, and stock struts? Cause I am planning to lower my car...., and approx. how fast is the stock struts give in? Also, how much more will the springs settle after putting them on?~

springs with stock struts will lower your car around 2"-2.5"

Ride isn't that bad, but bounces alot even on the slightest bump.

What springs are you talking about? Eibach lowers the gen 3 1in in the front and 1.2in in the rear.

it'll be fine.....only thing is that if you hit a dip or a bump, you'll feel like your car's floating.....don'e go too fast on curves that way and get struts as your next mod

I rode on stock struts w/ eibachs for about a year

The struts will blow after a while if it's lowered too much on stock struts. IMHO if you wanna do it, might as well save up and go all at once. You can do alignment or camber kit at that time too if you want.

I'm not sure too sure. I only heard about experiences with lowering on Accords, not much on Camry's. Accords seem to have longer lasting struts and 1.5-2" were causing problems within a year.
