After being on Konis with Eibachs for a couple of months, it is the stock dampers that ruined the Eibach ride.
I personally will not switch to Swift. The ride is just simply awesome!!

Curious to know why you you wouldn't switch to Swift?
dtran2714, did you get the Swifts with Konis? How's the ride with Swift Springs? Any review? Thanks!
This combo is pretty sweet. It's definitely stiffer than stock. Having the Konis with aftermarket springs makes a huge difference than running with stock shocks. The ride is not bouncey. I just barely got an alignment last week so I have not written a review on my set up yet.

is the adjustment for the rear hard to get to? I saw the adjustment picture on Koni website, but hard to get a good understanding with it. Is it just a small tool to insert to the bottom of the shock to adjust it, after jacking up the car?
So if I go to the track and want to make adjustments, I will definitely need to bring a jack right?

The adjustment is at the top of the rear shock. You need to jack up the car to open the wheel well clearance. Then you get something like an allen wrench, and stick it in one of 3 exposed holes in the collar, and turn. There is 2 complete revolutions from soft to stiff. Its like a **** that you can access from the side.
The front is super easy, they give you a little thumb wheel to stick on top of the strut, and turn it like a ****.
Ha I said ****!!

It's very simple. When you see it in person it will make sense. Yes you would need a jack to get to adjust the rears.
ok, thanks for all the info, TVPostSound and dtran2714, I think I will go ahead and get it. Trying to get that extra advantage when going to the track
Btw, I just ordered these from a vendor on this site, FBParts (Jomer), and they have the best price so far, even better than the Tire Rack specials! If anyone is interested, give him a call
Yes. However many will tell you to get an aftermarket lowering spring since you're going to be taking it all apart anyway. Might as well upgrade both while you're doing the Koni's.

Because Im perfectly content with the ride.
I truly believe that all the bad press given to Eibach's ride was due to the OEM struts and shocks!
Once I installed Konis this thing turned away from the darkside.
