My Father's 5KCDTQ has the Eibach/Koni combo, (Eibach is very similar to
H&R in this app) and it is a little harsh going over sharp bumps in the
road.  My 5KCSTQ with the EricFletcher shocks/APEX springs combo is very
smooth and supple.  I have found that my CD player actually skips LESS
than it did with the stock setup.  Highly recommended.

I wouldn't pay good money for them, but they aren't THAT bad.  My Father
put a set on his 5KCDTQ because his neighbour had an amployee discount at
Goodyear, and I thought they were pretty good.  All our
Cadillacs/Aurora/Rivieras come equipped with GAs.
