I'm on Eibachs and love them dearly! I recently rode in my buddy's '08 who has either Road Magnet or BWoody in his and it rides a bit more harsh than mine on Eibachs. I think the RM/BWoods are a linear spring whereas the Eibach are progressive rate. Definitely a difference in ride quality, though his has a little less body roll. The height on both of our vehicles is about the same, too.

My Eibachs dropped the front around 3/4 - 1" and the rears 1 - 1.25". Just enough to level it out and drop it down a touch. Had I known the ride quality was hardly going to suffer any I would have installed them long before I did. I have absolutely no regrets about going with these springs. I daily drive my Jeep and so I didn't want it to be too slammed or ride rough. I also put on BW end links when I did the springs.

Love the Eibachs. Minimal compromise in ride quality, improved handling, ..... Sometimes I wish was slammed, but it's low enough for me at this stage of my life--function is slowly starting to outweigh form, at least occasionally!
