Has anybody ever ran eibach pro kit springs up front and bmr springs out back? I already have the pro kit but I want to run true duals over the axle and with all this talk of the eibachs sagging in the rear I though this might help the problem. Plus BMR sells just the back springs. Any input would help.

I want to do it. I have the BMR kit right now and my front just isn't low enough for me. I think it would work out great

Maybe try stock spring and remove the rear isolator. Not sure that might give it too much of a RAKED look. Just and Idea.

I think the stock springs would be too high even with the hose mod. It might work with my kit but I think it would be too high with the pro kit My other idea is to get some springs spacers and see what that does.

CMTLSE 1- I have 17x9.5s up front and 17x11s out back My rear sits just a tad bit higher than the pro kit so I think the pro kit front springs would fix everything the way I would like

I like the stance of your car but i already have the pro kit and hate to waste the money on more springs. This way it would be a little bit cheaper. Sam said he wasn't sure about running the different spring rates though. If you end up doing it let me know. It is going to be close to 10 months before I get back to my car.

Can I get some good pictures of your car as well. Also how much does all the stereo equipment you have in the back weigh?

I'll let you know if I do it. I've been looking for a pro kit for cheap but I just haven't found one local yet.

I'm not sure how much my stereo equipment weighs but I'll check. As for pics give me some time and I can take some more. I have a few I'm sure I can dig up too.

Hey man I'm sorry I forgot about this but I couldn't weigh my stereo equipment but I'm going to just give a guess. I would say the sub and box weigh about 30 lbs and the amp and amp rack weigh about 10-15 lbs.


I'm still looking for springs.
