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... I've had my Prokit springs on for over a year and love them. They work well on the street and they work REALLY well on the road course and in ORR

Re: Need input on Eibach Pro-Kit... So far very happy with mine. I do suggest you get upgraded shocks to go with them. Stock shocks don't do very well lowered....

Re: Need input on Eibach Pro-Kit... My rears are perfect, the fronts on the other hand ended up being a smidge too low - more than 1.5,more like 1.75 to 2 inches.

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" />

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