I just finishi a koni eibach prokit install. I had an identical set up on my 1G all wheel drive. The ride quality is poor on this 2g.
Most of the suspension bushings are new and all of the ball joints and tie rods are new. I did the install in two stages with the fronts first. I did neglect to trim the front bump stops. However the ride quality was good with just the fronts. When I finished the rear I did trim the rear bump stops 3/4 of an inch. Overall the ride quality is poor no matter what settings I choose on the shocks. I am either going to return the car to stock ride height or choose a different spring rate and install a DG setup. Comments are welcome including those that might just say I'm too old. This may just be the case but as I recall my 1g rode even better tha stock. 2g...not so much. The car is going in for an alignment today. I may just drive it around for another week or two but unless somebody can point out something I may have missed the suspension will have to go.
