Eibach Pro-Kit

Does anybody have any complaints regarding these springs?
I'm thinking of purchasing them this weekend.

I have no Comlaints. some people will say that they're too expensive, but i didn't really care about price. I just wanted to lower as little as possible. so i could achieve slighty better handling, and also I wanted it to look better when I have my 17"s on in the warmer months. plus roads in Mass absolutely Suck!.

I don't have them (yet), but the reviews are excellent.
Nearly the same ride quality as stock, but better performance, and about a 1" drop.

i don't recomend these if you want to slam your car. it's about 1" drop probably less and it rides like stock because that's what it pretty much is. they're not that expensive, you can try ebay or groupbuycenter.com. i've searched on them before and found really cheap prices. i just didn't like how it barely gives a drop. once you put it on your car it looks stock. that's my 2 cents.

I used to have them but now I have the TEIN SS... The Pro-kit dropped it about 1" which was low at first, but after time wasn't low enough for me.. and plus it blew all my struts to hell and the ride sucked... I guess depending on the roads in your area you might be OK but there are lots of bumps around where I live.... I'd recommend saving up for something a little better because it will cost you more money in the long run....

I have them on my car and they ride very good. They are about an inch drop maybe a little more. Im so glad I didnt drop it anymore. I like low cars but my car with the kit is just low enough that it misses some curbs and stuff in parking lots and most speedbumps. Take a look at my car if you want to see how low it looks.

ya the prokit is good BUT overpriced.. if i was getting the prokit i would rather get h&r sports..
also ya 1.3" drop isnt s**t... basically looks stock, people cant even tell my car is dropped when i have 1.75" drop. why pay $200 to make your car look stock unless if your going for a little bit of performance..

The pro kit is definitly over-priced and the drop is very modest. Great for rough roads like here in Buffalo, NY. But, the Eibach have been known to let the rear sag on our cars. I have heard that alot. The rear sits siginificantly lower than the front even on a almost E tank.

Well I like my prokit and I have never once seen it sag or whatever.

If I turn rich I might get coilovers in the future, but im not going to really hold my breath on it. Im truly glad I did not get it any lower right now for as much as I drive it. I used to have a real low 90 civic and god damn did I scrape the bottom of that a lot. Sucked, I hated it. Cringed every time. Its nice not to have to worry about every speedbump or curb.

Now these springs are in my car. It feel like the stock spring to me. ANd it lower about 1 inch.
If you pay some money and expect something different from the stock. Go to Sport line.
But If you want to feel comfortable like stock and satify with 1 inch lower = Pro kit .

damn Gizmo, nice ride bro. I have the WW Avenger kit as well and yours looks a lot better than I though it would. I live in southern new hampshire too so pot holes, hills, and dips are common here, I think I might end up going with those now, I can't make up my mind!
