Take out the Eibachs. Aftermarket springs with non-matched, stock reproduction struts/shocks really doesn't do anything for the ride. Especially on the streets/highways around this city. Luckily, I don't drive mine all that much or I'd have yanked my Eibachs out a long time ago.
Hey, I have the base shocks with the Eibachs and have a great ride. Very smooth, the only problems is going into driveways and speed bumps in the parking lots. If you want a smoother ride go with the base shock and keep you Eibachs.
i am just lookin for a overall smooth ride i am taking my eibach springs out and replacing them witht he stock springs. but while i am replacing the springs i wanna replace my shcoks. i dont kno if i should replace them with the sport shocks or base model shocks. i dont kno which are a smoother ride..??
It's highly unlikely that you have the Euro shocks, so to make a difference, you'll have to go base. You might stick with the shocks you have after you switch back to the stock springs; you can always go base later if you don't like the resulting ride.

where does everyone get their shocks/struts from? Mine are blown and im looking to buy new ones but dont want to go to a lincoln dealer, autozone, etc.
I didn't say you said you did. All I said was unless you had the Euros, you'd have to go from Sport to base to make a difference--going from Sport to Sport won't make a difference. Make sense now?
Go to Lincoln. You have two choices: OEM shocks or Monroes, and the reviews of by those who've used the Monroes were very uncomplimentary of them. (I believe SensaCraps is how they've been described.)

Yes the Euro will give you better handling but at the cost of very harsh daily ride. Others have put the Euros on and took them off because of the harsh ride.
