Rear suspension + eibach springs

Rear suspension + eibach springs
First time round the eibach springs were way too harsh thought I'd try it all again
Task one was to swap out the worn stabiliser link rods and toe adjustment rods
After replacing these I had a quick poke around and my upper control arms look good however the lower control arm bushes are starting to deteriorate.
Then came the installation of the eiback rear springs (20mm)
Went for a short drive and the suspension didn't feel too intrusive in actually fact I didn't notice any difference in ride quality will want and see how it goes out on the open road

Straight out of the box these cars tend to have a floaty feel about them and can't be driven anywhere near their limit without feeling unstable
The eibach springs have surely made the xk feel a lot more stable, more planted on the road and lastly eliminated that unsightly wheel arch gap
As I've already replaced the rear drop links I might try the moog variety upfront
Would be interesting to see the xkr-s suspension specs versus the ones we have as they are both made by eibach
Lastly did you notice any tramp when going down the 1/4 with the new springs vs the oem, as I'm planning on going back out there to test the gains on my modified tune
