So, you are saying to go with the mp3 struts with the eibach springs? Should I get them at the same time, or could I get the springs and put them on the stock struts temporarly? Or, should I buy the mp3s first and then then springs?

You could get the eibach springs and mount them on your stock struts but they would accelerate their decay (the struts). If you want to use the stock spring/struts in the future for any reason, replace them both at the same time. It is up to you on that one.
Personally, I bought 17" wheels first. I am now waiting for the new tires and H&R springs. I will mount the springs on stock struts until there are more aftermarket struts available for P5's. ($110 each is pretty tall for non adjustable struts)

Eibach + Stock struts = NICE
I've had my Eibach "Pro Kit" Springs on for a couple weeks now and I Very happy with the ride/handling compromise. They work great with the stock struts, Car's on rails. My 215 Kumho's might be helping that though.
I don't know how quicker the stock struts will wear out now, but I might just replace them with OEM parts. Try the Eibach's on your stock struts, you might be a bit supprised with how well the car handles. You can always put on the MP3's struts later.

I'm not the expert
I reallise that PseudoRealityX has placed 3,500 posts, but my car doesn't "bounce" One Bit! the stock struts are good stuff, after all the fronts Are KYB and the Rear Are Tokico.

Well, I think I will buy the mp3 struts with the eibach springs. More people on this forum say do both a the same time and I will go with the majority. But, thank you very much for your insight, jbennett@rc.edu
