Eibach and Bilstein Question

Ok well I just got finished putting on a set of Bilsteins and Sportline springs...the ride quality has gotten 100% better and I am in no way disappointed in the direction I went.

BUT now Im wondering if switching to the prokit will make the ride just a little better or ALOT better?

Has anyone on here has experience with Bilsteins and both sportline and prokit springs?

Sportlines are too low for the spring rates, and you end up hitting the bump stops. Prokits aren't the best choice, but are a much better match for height/rate than the Sportlines.

There are a lot of things that many could write in here to convince you to switch over, and all truthful. So simply put: DO IT.

Personally, I'd choose the Strano springs instead of ProKits. IMHO, the ProKits are still too low for the soft rate or vice-versa, at least in the rear.
