Thanks all!
@slater- It feels great. It is still our family car and my wife's occasional hpde car so I wanted minimal lowering, but a firmer ride to improve the handling feel. It delivered exactly what I was looking for.

thanks. i love the handling balance of the stock spring rates, and i know the pro-kits (in the B12 kit) are supposed to be 10% firmer than stock - eibach tends to do a REALLY good job with this on the pro-kits. so to have slightly higher rates but retain the stock balance (which appears to have the correct frequencies front/rear), and slightly lower ride height than stock seems like the perfect setup.

being picky, i have noticed the B12's ride a bit high in the rear, but with my Touring that might end up sitting correctly.

Can you give a link to the specific RTAB that you used and the harshness on the street?

sorry, did not see this until now.

no increase in harshness, in fact i think (and it would make sense) that they improve ride quality as they are allowing the spring and shock to do their job (as opposed to flexing like the stock RTAB).

they're these ones:

Great weekend at Summit Point Jefferson Circuit with our ZHP. I left the e36 track car at home my wife & I shared the ZHP. It felt great with the newly installed suspension, fresh PFC pads, and Hankook c51 Rcomps. Very pleased with it's performance!

It was a great weekend!! Was a pleasure to see you and your wife.

I'm still amazed at how clean and nice your zhp is and how well it preformed on track... I love that car!!!
