It has been my experience with eibachs that they have a butter smooth ride, but in no way floaty and in every case help a lot with squat and dive. Iv'e installed 4 sets on 3 diff brands and all seem to settle more than expected, to be clear that isn't a bad thing in most cases.
Is that the case here? did you get what you thought or after a month do you find its lower than truly expected? Also what are the wheel measurements and tire size? Pls and thx.
eidt - Also, about alignment, specifically camber, can you drop a 2025 on eibachs and still have enough oem adjustment to keep it within oem spec? or are other suspension components needed (eg, high offset balljoints and the like)

Good to know.
Just to be clear, this is my first vehicle of this type, as well as my first Ford. Every previous eibach install has been on sport sedans or hot hatches (VW, Honda, Scoob), so there is a fairly low tolerance before reasonable tire saving, alignment adherent type actions are best implemented. I'm still learning what is "excessive" for this platform. If you know about eibach, you know about the raceline springs, the red ones. On a 2001 Prelude, prokit? (black springs) great! Raceline? (red springs) . . . . . naw dawg, I'll take my car . . . .
I realize at this point my comments are best moved to a suspension subforum, but I am still interested in the whell measurements, most specifically offset, rim size and width, and tire size choice. Bran, it looks good, let us know.

Yikes, engrish not your first ranguage? k...
"Just to be clear, this is my first vehicle of this type, as well as my first Ford. Every previous eibach install has been on sport sedans or hot hatches (VW, Honda, Scoob),"
-What type of vehicle is this? An suv. Volkswagens, Hondas, and Subarus that traditionally get modified are typically small sporty 2 or 4 door vehicles. Pretty straightforward man. One is an SUV the other is Prelude... one of these is not like the other....
"so there is a fairly low tolerance before reasonable tire saving, alignment adherent type actions are best implemented."
-If you don't want to scrub an expensive set of tires, additional alignment products are needed, like high offset ball joints or camber plates. You could of just asked, but you weren't gonna do that were ya?

-excessive /ĭk-sĕs′ĭv/ - Exceeding a normal, usual, reasonable, or proper limit. As I already stated, this is my first Ford and first SUV, as such, I am not yet familiar with what constitutes excessive when dropping an Explorer. Thus, I provided a real world example of what any real car guy would recognize as excessive, ie, the ride quality of Racelines is shit and should only be used on the track. Additionally, keeping the car even vaguely in oe measurements is costly, inconvenient and for the average user, excessive.
"I am still interested in the whell[sic] measurements, most specifically offset, rim size and width, and tire size choice."
-Really, a single misspelling threw you off that hard? I wanted to know what the offset, rim size and width, and tire size are... pretty clear.
"Bran, it looks good, let us know."
-Bran is the OP, I'm letting him know it looks good and to let us know on the specific measurements.
It never fails, the douchebags can't help themselves. There wasn't anything weird or unusual about that post, but you went out of your way to be dick to the new guy instead of just asking what I meant. Good lord man, way to hijack the thread and disrespect the OP. and BTW, it's not my fault that your reading comprehension is at 3rd grade level.
jesus tap dancing christ, at least I now know who NOT to listen to for good info.
