I haven't I wasted my money on the defective Eibach springs. I used their stuff on my Miata, great company.

You haven't got your updated springs yet? I replaced my fronts with the updated ones and all is well now.

i have goodwins kit, just waiting on the truck to arrive....
I went with goodwins after reading of the issues with eibach, and i have been a goodwin customer for years owning mx-5's
I will probably also autoX the truck, and maybe even take it to the track for kicks...
Planning on installing 255/55r18 mich pilot sport suv tires on 18x8.5 wheels. Hopefully i can stop there with performance mods... this is supposed to be a 2nd vehicle in the summer and primary in winter..

Gonna be taking mine to Thunderhill along with my Miata for a private track day in October, can't wait! I just wish the maverick had paddle shifters at least.
Also wanna mention that I'm on the new updated eibach springs it is soo much better now, but i still wonder how the goodwins compare to these. I also have the same size tires you mentioned (255/55/18) but the rubber is continental extreme contact dsw06+. Paired with a steeda rear sway bar and front strut tower, the grip on the truck is night and day difference compared to stock.
I've had the goodwin springs and rear sway on for about 20,000 miles so far. Steers much better, no issues with the springs yet. Harsher ride than stock, but nothing more than expected from a shorter spring.

Any issues loading down the bed or towing? Still have good enough ground clearance? I notice they are slightly taller than the Eibach which I like.
I've loaded it just slightly under payload since the springs were installed. Handled 1200lb fine. The rear did squat some, but no rubbing or bottoming out.
Ground clearance is fine. I drive into quite a bit of commercial job sites (tilt up and foundation work) and haven't had any trouble yet.

I installed the GWR lowering springs. I'd say the ride is very close to factory, but with a more planted/connected to the road feel. I can't compare them to the Eibach springs, but I did have the H&R super sports for about a month, but I didn't care for the clunking when going over bumps. The H&R were decent on smooth roads, but I couldn't imagine them once winter comes.

Did you have to use cam bolts or did you just install the springs as is?
