Question Eibach Pro Kit

I know these springs will lower my 02 WS6 An inch+ but are they stiffer then the stock springs, which is what I'm looking for. Thanks

They are moderately stiffer than stock. I'd suggest a shock upgrade to go with them. They do work well on a street car.

But as trackbird says and I'll restate - dump the stock shocks, they won't last long with the Eibach's. Either get Koni's ( DA or SA ) or have Sam Strano from www.stranoparts.com revalve a set of Bilsteins to match the Eibach's; do not use the SLP Bilsteins or HD Bilsteins with them ( up front ) as they are not valved properly for that particular spring. You can ( and Sam recommends ) use 3rd Generation Bilsteins in the rear however. Good luck.

If you are fine tuning your suspension, looking for that last tenth of a second per lap on a road course, revalving is probably a good idea.

I have off the shelf Bilstein HDs on my car and have had for 50K miles. half that was witha pro-kit (which sucked, but that's for another thread) and the last half was on G2 Super Springs.

They still work great ...

I've had my Eibachs on for 3 years now, with stock shocks. I've had 30,000 miles of driving with them.. Sure- it's probably not as good as it would be with properly valved shocks, but I have had many miles of autobahn and some occasional track driving!

How much are the strano revalved billstiens? I just got a prokit and was going to use the SLP revalves but not anymore. Seems like the more you hear, the worse SLP is. But anyhow, any help would be appreciated.
