    Springs - H&R or Eibach pro?

    H&R on mine when I got it, was gonna change back to try the original as it is a harsh enough drive on crappy roads but after taking it to the track I couldn't justify putting the originals back on. They made me look like a hero, when in fact I am pretty sure that is not the case. Cornered so...

    Still under warranty?
