From what I have expereinced....there is no noticeable hit to the ride quality with Eibachs. If all you want is to get rid of some of the gap, Eibachs are a good way to go. If you want more....like road racing set up, etc., then others may have better ideas. The Eibach cars I have ridden in ride very nice, and the cars handle/feel more responsive. Got pictures of the 19's (and the gap)??
