Eibach Prokit

Ok theres this guy whos selling me his brand new prokit. Should I get it? I know the drops only going to be like a 1.2" drop. For those who have prokits, would it really look all that different? Would I need to get shocks too or can I stick with stock. Did you notice the difference in ride quality? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

ride is almost like stock.. its pretty stiff. im riding on stock shocks but here is the thing with shocks. all shocks ill eventually go out..even with stock springs. with aftermarket springs, your cutting the life span of the shocks in half.

as for looks, if you look at it from the front or the back...you notice a drop. if you look at the car from the side, the drop isn't too noticeable. my rears are perfect (1") but the front drop (1.2") there is still a big ass gap! i hate looking at my car from the side.

I've heard that over time the springs will lower a little bit more. Is that true? Also, what's the average lifespan or recommended change on the shocks/spings?

Within a couple of days, or a hundred miles or so the springs will "Settle" a bit,usually adding another .1 or .2" drop. Some drop heights listed take this into effect, but not most.

I have the prokit and I notice a big difference. What size rims are on the car now? I put the TLS rims on before I dropped it and I noticed the difference right of the back. As far as the ride goes there is less roll and it handles better. I still have stock shocks too.

Alrite I just got the car back. The drop isn't that noticable but it still looks good. The rears look a little bit lower though because I have a heavyass system in the trunk. I took a lot of pictures so can someone host them for me?
