I just had my pro-kit and koni reds installed. First thing is the drop indicated by Eibach is not even close, the car dropped about 2". The ride is absolutely amazing, almost like stock except when corning, then the suspension really shines!! I highly recommend this setup, the koni's make a huge difference. I posted some pictures on my site showing the before and after install.

Nice

Congrats!

 

Lookin' good

 

It looks good!

 

Damn from rags to riches bra...

 

It dropped more because of the shocks.

 

I just dropped my CL with the Eibach prokit, but the guys who did my install didn't think I needed to switch out my stock shocks, You think the Koni's help the ride a lot? How much did they cost you?

 

u'll need aftermarket shock.

 

spriting, just as reference, i road on the pro-kit for a year on my stock shocks, but then again, the car was brand new so the shocks didn't have much wear on them at all.

 

thanks for all the positive feedback. I've only used Koni struts for all the cars I've owned. I've tried Tokico's, KYB and a few others but I always come back to KONI.

 

Did the Eibach kit really drop it 2 inches?

It says 1.5 in. Cuz I dont want it that low.. Just a lil lowered

 

ok, so I should get new shocks with my prokit, Dutch got Koni's anybody have any other suggested shocks with the Eibach springs?

Thanks you guys, I'm really enjoying having some feedback about my car, I'm a newbie and it is a lot of help.

 

the aftermarket shocks dropped it like another .5"

 

Why did it drop it more.. that what i dont want to happen..

Should I get new shocks or use the shock ones?

 

Don't quote me on this but I think the Koni's might be slightly shorter in length than the stock strut. I wanted to check my theory while my car was in the shop but I totally forgot. I had lowered my old Accord with S/T springs which dropped the car about 2". After I blew my stock struts I swapped them out for the Koni Reds and the car did drop another .5".
I firmly believe any drop should be coupled with a good strut, stock struts aren't really designed for the spring rate of aftermarket springs. Koni is the only strut manufacture that make struts that aren't "piston position sensitive" Which essential means as long as they don't bottom out or hit the top they'll be fine regardless of the drop.

 

I think all aftermarket shocks will drop your car more. I notices the KYB AGX does it also. with the AGX if you adjust the stiffness of the shocks and drive it like a block you'll see a different.

 

The KYB's were the ones I planned on getting.. Any suggestions on what Shocks I should get tha wont drop it more..

see I dont want it too low because I hate the bottom of my car scrapped on steep driveways, or speed bumps, etc...
