Im installing the Eibach Prokit with is estimated to be a 1" drop. However some people on the forum advertise there car dropd "1.25 inces to nearly 2" inches. I dont want to drop my car any more then an inch because im using stock struts. (yes I know)


1) Does this kit drop lower then 1 inch?
2) also is there a spring thats a little higher then the pro-kit?

I searched the FAQ, and couldnt find a positive answer so any help is appreciated! Thanks

btw the FAQ's really helped

1) yes, you won't be able to tell the difference between 1" and 1.25" anyway. It will be so close to stock.
2) no

The shocks are gonna blow anyways, so it doesn't really matter how far they drop the car.

im just hoping to get at least 20k miles out of my stock struts, then ill replace them with new oem struts. its a lease anyway so by that time ill trade it in.

Since your going with the Pro-kit, your odds of blowing them are less then with other springs that have lower drop. I rode around woth my Sportlines for over a year without any problems, and they were still fine when I swapped them out for some Koni's.

Prokit left about 3 fingers gap. You should be aright for a long while with them.

After a few months, mine is about 2 finger front and 1 finger rear. I'm staying on stock struts then getting tokico hp later.

hey gearbox, your car looks nice.
Just want to make sure, you are on eibach prokit correct? ur car seems very low and according to you there's only 1 figure gap in the rear. I'm currently looking into lowering springs but i don't want it to be too low. prokit claims 1" drop all around, but in ur case is more like 2" ? Damn i hate my car current's stance, i can fit my fist in

on my 02 sedan, i have the prokit with tokico hp blues and my rear is half a finger to a finger and my front is a finger and a half.. my rear is also a bit lower cuz i have a subbox in the trunk...

btw there's only a small amp and some neons in the trunk. So its not lower cause of that. Also I noticed the car was already kinda low compared to other civics before I put the springs on..

That's the rear of my civic it's about a 1 finger gap maybe 1.5 but the front 2 finger gap so it did go pretty low but a clean drop

hey penny, ^^ looks like u got rims on ur car too, so the gap is probably smaller cuz of that?

i am getting my pro-kit installed next week, and i want to stick 18's on my car, do u peeps think there will be any rubbing?, also does anyone have a pic of this kind of a setup

Think 18's will look good definitely close the gap more then steelies would depending on the tire size you good w/ but pently of people have 18's w/ a lower drop then the prokit so you shouldn't have any problems but I suggest get a camber kit and some new shocks as soon as you can afford to.
