My car is currently rolling on Eibachs and Koni Sports installed by a PO.  I"m 
pretty sure they are set full soft.

Anyway, I don't know if it is a me getting older, or the roads here in MN 
getting worse (they have gotten REALLY bad over the last 10yrs), but I think the 
car rides like crap.  I never thought my Type 44 with H&R's and Bilsteins was 
anyware near this bad, although that had 16s vs 17's.  My 90q20v with 
Eibachs and Bilsteins (and 205/50-15's) was pretty firm, but I expected that out 
of the small chasis car.  Anyway, I don't see the point of driving a "Miss 
Piggy" that rides like this.  If I'm going to suffer this kind of ride, I want 
the car to handle like a Miata or something, and that's not going to happen.

Anyway, since I have to put the car up on stands and replace the brakes anyway, 
I was thinking of swapping the springs out.  Anyone have any experieince with 
the Hypercoil S6+ replica springs?  Seems like they may be a little 
lower/stiffer than the '92 springs, but I'm not sure.  Idealy, I would 
like feedback on how they ride vs the Eibachs, and how much higher the car would 
sit.  I would actually prefer the car be about 10mm higher anyway.

Anyone have any '92 springs FS?  How much higher are they in the front then 
the Eibachs (I forget which variation of the Eibach I have, I think it is the 
last one).

Thanks,
Erik
