i have the eibach springs on the front. it looks good but it really didn't do anything for performance. this was one of the first suspension mods i did and if i had the op to do it again i would have gone with a better product. if you're on a budget you really can't beat the pro kit, but if you're looking for more than looks save your money for a proven name like spohn, QA1 or strano.

IT depends what you are doing with the car, look at the spring rates

Eibach V8 Prokit 98-02
Front
400lbs
Rear
80-137lbs
Drop
1.25

They aren't really stiff enough up front for racing, but they aren't a terrible spring for the street. The rear rates are the same..., there are worst springs with crappier rates out there. I'm not going to mention any brands....

If you have any RR or AX in your future look closely and research, if you just want it as a nice appearance mod then you should be fine, just remember the rates are only a slight improvement over stock. Which is not a bad thing for the street.

The drop isnt extreme 1.25", about the only thing I've seen here is the rear springs tends to sag, the rear will end up looking lower than the front.

Good luck.

pretty much got it covered there above ^^^^^ (strano will make you happy!!! :-)

only thing i would add to is are you changing shocks also? if you still have the factory decarbons this is another area of improvement to look into and would be great to do at the same time as the springs

IMO,
Strano's, Hotchkis, Kenny Brown Hypercoil's.

If you dead set on getting the Eibach Pro-kit, at least get the LT1 Pro-kit.
