So Chuck... could you please educate me as to why you went with the Eibachs? Was it purely for cosmetic reasons? Or were you not satisfied with the stock handling? I was under the impression the stock handling was already impressive... unless you track it I guess. Last time I changed springs was on my 93 FD Rx7. However the reasons for those was dire need (oem was worn out). I also went with Eibach's at the time.

And I am also learning about these spacers... is the purpose again also purely cosmetic? The purpose being, to literally put a spacer between the wheel and the hub to make the wheels stick out further by the spacer thickness? Or is there a handling benefit to using spacers?
