Re: Need input on Eibach Pro-Kit... Lowered the vehicle an 1 and a 1/4. The spring really made the car feel much more stable and solid around turns. But of course that was a combo of the springs and shocks. You really should change both at the same time so they work better together.

Re: Need input on Eibach Pro-Kit... The Eibachs are not intended to be used with stock shocks. The rear will sag because the spring rate is too much for the stock shocks. You should definitely upgrade to better shocks, like some revalved Bilsteins! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Re: Need input on Eibach Pro-Kit... No rub on my 16s or my new 17s ...
I put on Bilstien HDs at the same time I installed the Eibachs. Over time, the rear sagged over 1/2" ...

if you want to do it RIGHT, get the billsteins with the eibachs.
