Is it worth the extra $200?
I'm on the fence...
Getting ready to go to the shop to have some work done and I can't decide whether or not I want to spend the extra $200 for a new set of springs.
I'm dropped on Eibach Pro's (1") now with 225/40/18 tires...everything else stock (shocks/struts, etc.). I've got barely a 2 finger gap evenly around all 4 tires
It's time for a new set of tires and I want to go with 215's this time.
I am also installing a camber kit just becuase I know it's the better thing to do and I didn't do it the first time around.
Question is...do I spend the extra money for the H&R 1.3" springs while I'm at it???
I'm not really happy with the stance the 1" gives my car on the 18's, so I figured the 1.3" would give it that little extra drop without killing the ride quality.
You guys are better at this than I am though, what do you think??

I'm probably not better than you in this subject keep in mind... But I'm planning on dropping on the ProKit for a couple reasons. For one the prokit is designed for stock shocks and struts, as there's only an additional 10% of additional force on the other suspension components as opposed to the stock springs. I'm going to get it because I dont want to kill my shocks and struts (just yet.) But you need to keep in mind a lower drop will put more force on the shocks and struts lessening their life and worsening ride quality. I would spend the 200$ towards some konis
i have the pros as well on a 225/40/18 as well. the H&R's will not gve the same ride quality as the eibach's give that is for sure. going with a 215 will decrease your sidewall though as well. so it will give more gap. i have a cf type r lip i am putting on and like/need the extra height so i dont mess it up/ the extra .3" drop really isnt going to be more than a half of a finger gap at most. to me it wouldnt be worth it!
i have the kyb agx's they are 4 way adjustable and ride absolutely awesome with the eibachs. better than stock becasue a lil stiffere but not much. what you have to remember is that eibach makes progressive coils. so they will give when you need it and be a bit tighter when its needed as well
