I ran eibach springs on US stock shocks and had a fair amount of success.

So, would the Eibach springs be worth going with using my regular shock's?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am getting new tires this week and have about $400-$500 extra to blow on the car and am debating on getting the h&r sport springs. I am thinking of this to lower the car slightly, and get a little better handling on DE's. I usually take the car on the track about once a month.
Do you guys think that this is a good upgrade? And let's stay away from the coilover upgrades only because while I would love to have them, I don't have
a couple of thousand dollars at the moment to dump into the car. I would just like to see if this will help the car a little bit on the track?
Thanks,

$4-500 wont cover the new alignment you will need.
however.... I ran eibach springs on US stock shocks and had a fair amount of success. My alignment guy was even surprised as he said the "norm" is to end up with re-bound and a worse set up...
what type of tires did you get
what type of alignment
those would be worth more in the end... and are known "good" mods
I am getting Kumho XS tires. I have them on my 928 and really like them. I have Sumitomo III's and although they are a really good tire for every day, they suck on the track. Thought since I have some extra cash that the wife said I can blow on myself I'd get a couple of things.
So, would the Eibach springs be worth going with using my regular shock's? And, what type.
See I only want a little better performance. Car seems to sit a little high and rolls when going into corners. I thought that if I can get some springs it could help a little until I do the complete suspension in the next couple of years. Although with the prices of the Turbo's I might just end up selling my car and buying a turbo in the spring.
Thanks,
Oscar
I have stock springs and shocks. Get a set of nittos for the track and spend the 400 on a spare set of wheels that's what I did and the handling is amazing. I actually need to dial in some negative camber with the nittos since the stock setup isn't heating the inside of the tire as much.
+1 Save the money for some track wheels and tires that you will eventually want/need. Or spend the money on another DE. I promise you that you can find more performance within yourself than you could ever hope to get from different springs.
Consider the H&R rear sway bar. I just installed one and it dramatically reduced body roll and even provides some oversteer, which I sorely missed. Only $233 shipped and 45 mintues to install from start to finish...piece of cake and results one can feel immediately.
Please describe your fair amount of success. What it worth just going to the Eibachs or did you regret not changing the dampers too? I'm considering this because I don't want to spend any more money than I need to right now.
Did it handle better in your opinion? Any old pics with those?
