No noticeable change from the stock ride with the Eibach Sportlines for me.

Is the handling, particularly side-to-side motion, improved?
Can't say I noticed anything but I've not really pushed the car that much.

Unfortunately the car did not come in until after my trip to the Tail of the Dragon a couple of months ago. That would have been a great baseline test.

I like it! So I need to get eibach Sportline and the rear camber kit to achieve this? And spacers.
You can go sportline without camber kit but again strongly recommend it for poroper alignment. For the spacer, some guys here install 20mm spacer on 18" oem wheel and it suppose to fit but when did the installation i notice that the spacer bolt touch the wheel by the inside. we talk about in spacer thread but i dont find it.

Yes I'd make sure to get the camber kit or your alignment will be uneven and way out of spec. 20mm spacers work great on the OEM wheels. I'm running slightly wider tires (245mm) So I went with 15mm spacers.

Hey man, How are the springs? i was told they were a bad idea because the ride would be bad and the car would be very bouncy. Is this true?

I didn't notice any change in ride quality. Eibach did a great job.
