Is the Eibach Pro-Kit ride alot harder?
Looking to get the Eibach Pro-kit but was worried the ride would get too hard. I put over 80mi a day in the car and don't want to kill my back.. I did H&R sport kit with Blistein Sports and bigger swaybars on my 84 BMW 325 and now it's a bear on my back, every bump rattles my spine! (but it handles better then an 91 M3) 
Any thoughts?

I only had one week on my Pro-Kit before adding KYB AGX adjustable shocks, but I don't recall the ride being harsh at all. Remember this was only one week.

If you wanna lower your car and keep that comfortable ride, Eibach pro-kits is the way to go. I have mine with Tokico premium shocks and my car still rides pretty good. I've had them for a year now. It doesn't ride like stock though, but pretty close. I believe your ride will be better if you go with Koni adjustables. They're more expensive but ride comfort is better. I hope this helps.

The prokit with the axg soft setting is way to soft for me, I still feel like Im driving a cadilac or lincoln when they are set soft with all the body roll and soft ride. The hardest setting isnt even hard enough for me though. I guess I just want to feel like Im actually driving a car. So to answer your question it can be real soft with the prokit

The prokit with the stock shocks, feels a little stiffer at first with the stock shocks. Once the springs settle, the feel of the car is basically the same as stock. The only problem is the, when the car is lowered, the stock shocks can't take the change in weight, and you'll most likely blow your stock shocks out after a month or two, depending on how many pot holes you com across. Any how, pro kit with kyb-agx is perfect because you can adjust them to how you like. Can't beat that!!!

I have a TL-S with the ProKit and Tokico illuminas. I love the ride. The shocks are usually left on 3. Only trouble is trying to adjust the rears. I think the Eibach's are a great alternative to CT's and H&R's
